🐱 1. Cat Mural — By Sagie in Kristianstad, Sweden 🇸🇪

This giant gray cat looks like it is ready to jump down from the roof at any second. The artist used the shape of the building perfectly to make the cat look real. It is a great way to make a simple brick wall stand out. Residents probably have the most well-guarded roof in the city.
