Cat mural
The striking 20-foot-high mural was painted in 2018 by street artist Muck Rock, who was born in Stoke-on-Trent but has relocated to Venice Beach, California.
It was completed in just under four hours with only the use of a ladder to reach the high sections.
The portrait off Althorpe Street is part of a series of projects in Coventry and Warwickshire by Brink Contemporary Arts.

Jogging by the canal, Leamington
Ahead, looking east, is the Ladder Bridge, built in the 19th century to carry an ancient right of way over the then Warwick and Napton Canal, opened in 1800 and now part of the Grand Union. The towpath through Leamington and Warwick is well-used by walkers, cyclists and runners.

Grand Union Canal from Brunswick Street, looking towards Rangemaster
This is a view of the canal from Brunswick Street in the Southtown of Leamington Spa. The modern factory buildings on the right hand side of the canal are the former Flavels works, now Aga Rangemaster. John Flavel bought a foundry in Bilton near Rugby in 1777 and moved production to Leamington Priors, now Leamington Spa, in 1803. The new canal linking the Midlands and London and passing through Leamington must have made the location attractive.
