The stretching big cat is the sixth Banksy to be spotted in London this week
Banksy has confirmed the sixth artwork in his new animal-themed collection across London, a silhouette of a cat on an empty, distressed billboard on Edgware Road.
The street artist posted a photo of the design on his Instagram on Saturday without any caption.
The new work is in Cricklewood, an area in north-west London and is the sixth in as many days.
It follows his most recent artwork of pelicans appearing to take fish from a chip shop sign, which was revealed on Friday.
A stencilled image of a goat appeared in Kew on Monday while an image of two elephants touching trunks in Chelsea was revealed by the Bristol-based artist on Tuesday, although on Friday it was seen defaced with stripes.

On Friday, a stencil appeared above a fish and chip shop
When the artwork of two pelicans appeared above the sign of a fish and chip shop in Walthamstow on Friday, one resident told BBC News: "It's genuinely really exciting.
"A friend messaged me early this morning telling me it's appeared on my street so we arranged to come down as soon as we could.
"It's so fun and wholesome - that's what's really nice to see."

The third artwork was found on a bridge over Brick Lane
She believed the location, Bonners Fish Bar, was significant.
"It's a bit of an icon of the area, so I'm sure that's why it's been chosen," she said.
"It's been here a long time and it's well loved."

Thursday's offering did not stay in place for long before it was soon carried away
Thursday's stencil of a wolf on a satellite dish in Rye Lane, Peckham, was taken down from on top of a building within hours of it being revealed.
