This print shows a brown tabby cat lounging on a reddish-pink surface. The cat appears relaxed, stretched out with its head near the upper right corner and its feet and tail near the bottom left corner. It is on its side, with its stomach exposed. Its head is turned towards us, and it looks out at us with striking yellow eyes. The cat's fur is in shades of brown ranging from dark brown to tan, its nose is pink, and it has small tufts of tan fur coming from inside its ears. The background above the red surface is brown.
