(NECN/KNXV) - A seven-year-old ocelot at the zoo in Phoenix, Arizona is starting to make a name for himself in the art world.

Padfoot is a painter and he's getting quite a bit of attention.

Padfoot was born at the Phoenix Zoo and first started to show a knack for painting in 2005.

Zookeepers say other cat painters are rare and typically paint with just their paws, but Padfoot really gets into it.

Keepers say the ocelot will use his paws, his head, neck and entire body.

Once the wild cat is done painting he has what can only be called an unusual signature; he will hit the painting with a spray of urine once he's done.
