From traditional shops to hip stores, a lot of businesses in Shamshuipo area take on shop cats to help manage their customer relationships. These furry store managers all have their own personalities, communities and life stories. They inspired Kristopher Ho to team up with the young people from community organisation Hope of the City to create the 20-metre-long mural #ppl_&_meow_dd. It conveys his impression of shop cats, and the cotton flowers in the background symbolise SSP's robust textile trade.
