The world of street art is a vibrant, ever-evolving canvas that reflects the thoughts, ideas, and aesthetics of diverse cultures around the globe. Among this profusion of creativity, one subject stands out and continues to inspire artists across borders and continents – the cat.
This feline-inspired street art phenomenon is far-reaching, with each corner of the world lending its own unique perspective to the representation of cats in public art. In the bustling cities of Japan, for example, where the cat is considered a symbol of good luck, you might spot murals depicting ‘Maneki-neko’ or the ‘beckoning cat’, a common Japanese talisman believed to bring fortune and prosperity.
Across the Atlantic, in the urban landscapes of New York or Los Angeles, artists portray cats as emblems of the city’s spirit – independent, resourceful, and resilient. These murals often depict cats prowling rooftops or lounging lazily in the sun-drenched corners of the city, much like their human counterparts.
The styles in this collection range from super realistic to bold and colorful. Each piece tells its own story, celebrating how much people love cats. This collection is full of surprises and purr-sonality!

A pet portrait painting of my cat Olivia. Acrylics on 16x20 canvas, finished a few days ago. This is a memorial painting; she passed away in 2018 from complications from bone cancer. I miss her so much every single day. I could not bring myself to do her portrait sooner, and it was a difficult one for me to complete.
A little bit of bird watching this #Caturday. It turns out there's a nest out in the corner of the overhang, which explains the bird activity. George is an indoor cat, so he was observing only and not participating in the local ecosystem.
It's a multi-cat #caturday. These four kittens are in a butcher's shop in Essaouira, Morocco and clearly something very interesting is happening just out of frame.
