The Mural is based on a real life cat stray cat Ginger Tabby called Skippy.

"Skippy" or in full, "Skippy Comes to Penang", and often called simply as the Giant Cat Mural, is one of 12 murals depicting cats and dogs that will grace the walls of George Town in conjunction with George Town Festival 2013. The mural is a project called 101 Lost Kittens, the work of a group of artists which calls themselves ASA, or Artists for Stray Animals. It comprises Tang Yeok Khang of Bukit Mertajam, Natthaton Muangkliang of Thailand and Louise Low of Kuala Lumpur.

The Giant Cat mural is one of the murals being painted to create awareness of the need to protect animals and get people to foster a love for pets. As the name 101 Lost Kittens suggest, the artists plan that eventually the 12 murals and other artforms will total 101 stray animals, all but one being cats, the one exception being a dog. This will help reduce the population of stray cats and dogs in the city." Text Source: (visit link) & (visit link) & (visit link)
