    I’m also wondering if those are not fake prints. They look pretty deep. I don’t think a cat walking on drying bricks would leave such deep marks.

    To me they look like easter eggs left by the brick layer.

      Maybe they’re deep because of water erosion from rains over a thousand years, those bricks look pretty polished.

          Also, wouldn’t water erosion make them less deep not more, due to generally smoothing the stone?

            Maybe water pools in them long after it dries out on the surrounding brick, but whether still water still erodes stone I don’t know.

      It’s possible. I have paw prints of varying size and pressure in the concrete around my house (thanks cat).

      The ones from super wet concrete look almost like a duck/goblin footprint, the ones in drier screed look like those tiles, but much less deep.
