Artist's Description of the artwork

This mural shows the bond between FRANK (short for Frankston) the domestic cat and his loyal owner KAT (the woman).Frank, like all cats, is a bit bossy and stubborn and places himself above his master. But they have a mutual and loving relationship, which is very important. Keeping pets gives benefits for people’s health and well-being.
