The funny thing is that some medieval bricklayer made a conscious choice here, he could have put that brick paw-print down and made a flawless floor. Now, here we are getting a chuckle out of some unknown bricklayer’s little gag centuries later.
I’m also wondering if those are not fake prints. They look pretty deep. I don’t think a cat walking on drying bricks would leave such deep marks.
To me they look like easter eggs left by the brick layer.
I live in a house build in the late 1800s. There are names and dates carved into the brick facade from 70 years ago. I think that is kinda cool.
Possibly whittled out of the brick long after installation, by a bored funster, using a crude round-tipped tool ?
I kind of have fun imagining a kitty being told not to walk there. And being a kitty, they immediately walked there.
Best run, there’s a very tiny dark
houndkitty on the loose.
