CCC's Street Art Contest. Two cats and lots of rooftops

Greetings, friends! I confess at once - when I went for a walk in this neighborhood, I immediately thought that I would need to take pictures of different graffiti on the way. Not that this was the only purpose of my excursion... it seemed more like an obvious and pleasant bonus. The reality disappointed me at first, then charmed me again.

I had not at all expected that the city workers had been so industrious, and had painted absolutely every wall of every house on the block! Everywhere I turned, I saw perfect paint on the walls. And I had already resigned myself to failure when suddenly, after another turn, I saw this mural.

It occupied the entirety of three walls of a small annex to one of the buildings. How this annex appeared, and what was its purpose, I do not know very well. There was a door at the side, a window in the center, and some bars were attached to the sides. What are they for? It's a mystery to me.

It seems to me that the main star of this mural is the cat on the roof of one of the buildings. I walked a little further, and noticed a relative of this cat on another wall. This painting was placed on the blank wall of an apartment building.

At the bottom of that wall - where the stamps are painted - you can see the silhouette of a small house or garage. It looks like there was some kind of outbuilding here too, but it is now demolished.
