Kitten Rips Up Wallpaper In Bedroom And Uncovers A Hidden Work Of Art
Zipper, a kitten with more energy than most full-grown cats, turned a bedroom cleanup into an unexpected discovery. Since Ceejae Jackman brought him home, he has kept the family busy with nonstop mischief, and this time his favorite target was the wallpaper.
What started as a simple case of a destructive kitten quickly turned into something much bigger. As Ceejae and her son Garret tried to deal with the mess, they realized Zipper had exposed a hidden mural beneath the paper, and suddenly the room was no longer just damaged, it was a surprise waiting to be uncovered.
Now the family is trying to finish the job and track down the artist behind the artwork. Read on.
“As she was removing it she was like, ‘Aww man, it’s brown paint,’” Jackman said. “But as she removed more, she began to see a tree. Once she had the tree partially uncovered she sent me a picture and I was like, ‘Mom, this room has a mural.’”

So, they got to work to uncover the entire mural, dying to see exactly what Zipper had discovered.

This kitten was not making the cleanup any easier.
And yes, this wallpaper battle feels like the man who “won” against his girlfriend’s cat by peeing on it.
“Zipper was laying in the room and waiting for us to drop sheets of wallpaper so he could attack them and playing with our feet while we tried to work,” Jackman said. “Just being an adorable nuisance.”

The Jackman's posted on Facebook to see if they could track down the artist responsible so that they could thank them. Eventually, Jody Bayles came forward and claimed responsibility for the stunning mural.

If Zipper hadn't have been so hell-bent on pulling the wallpaper down, the Jackman's may never have known such a beautiful mural existed in their home. Good job, Zipper!
