According to the Visit Decatur, GA blog, “Catlanta” came to Decatur this past Saturday.

Who or what is Catlanta you ask?  Mary’s got the deets…

Catlanta is a guerrilla street artist. He plants his original works throughout the alleys, main streets and gardens of the metropolitan area, a few at a time, and allows his growing legion of followers to find them and adopt them (at last count, about 3500 on Twitter and Facebook.) The pieces are generally a stylized image of a cat with a heart on its chest , a mask across its eyes, and the Catlanta signature.

…Saturday Catlanta hit Decatur, placing his prizes at Agnes Scott College, the junction box on Commerce, and on the front lawn of St.Thomas More Catholic Church. Not even the most cat-like passerby would have spotted them without a hint.

According to Mary, followers get hints from Catlanta of his next target area via Facebook and Twitter and he then posts pics of the hidden location on Flickr (like this one at Commerce/Trinity) so that folks can rush off and claim their prize.
