Where I live on the Big Island of Hawaii, there's lots of people who garden. There are many cats that probably were once tame that have gone feral here. There's also lots that either escaped or were abandoned by people who moved away. Every once in awhile, businesses will adopt a more friendly-type "shop cat" to intimidate the rodent population and act as a mascot.
This place I made a mural for, they had a nursery, even though they also sold other things and services. There are so many gardeners here in Hawaii who always want to buy plants! This business was temporarily using one of their storefronts as a store-room, so they had me do a mural on the glass and include portraits of their animals. They had a charming big Orange cat who posed for me in the window...
I love kitty cats. Wish I could be a "Cat Lady" and have ten of them at once!
