The sculpture depicts two cats sitting side by side on a common base. Both cats have upright ears, detailed facial features, and their tails are wrapped around their bodies. The sculpture appears to be made of wood, given its brown color and texture with visible grain patterns. The cats sit closely together facing slightly forward. The attention given to their fur and posture makes them appear almost life-like. The base on which the cats are sitting is simple.
