Sitting stoically in a field, an orange cat peers at the viewer. His thick, contoured fur shines bright, and his light yellow stripes lie neatly across its body and paws. The face shows little emotion though it appears to be in deep thought. The bright blue sky and a thick tree trunk hover above its head. The surrounding grass beneath its feet is depicted with light, upward flicks of altering shades of green.
