2. Kitten Escaping the Wall — Mr. Meana in London, England
A massive kitten painted by Mr. Meana stretches across the side of a brick building near a “Cat Only Vets” clinic.

Painted with spray paint in one day. It seems to be the first piece of street art in the area, so let’s hope it gets people wanting more.
