A gray tabby cat prepares to rise from a low shelf, gazing leftward.
A gray tabby cat is seen lying in a low shelf or cubbyhole. The cat is lying on its side with its back legs outward in front of it and its front legs facing the right side with its head end. The cat looks to the left from the right side. The cat's tail is up and curled over the end of its body. It has bent its back legs to get its toe pads onto the shelf surface. The front paws are set on the surface with the front elbows bent. It is lying in such a way that it is in the middle of preparing to get up. The shelf is very short, and the cat's ears reach the top of it. The cat has pale green eyes that are outlined in black skin with white fur around the edges. The nose is a pink-brown shade, the mouth and chin fur are white, and the paw tips are on the front paws and both of the entire back paws. The cat has long white whiskers. The cat's primordial pouch has soft beige fur. The wood of the shelf is a medium-warm shade, with scratches along the bottom front edge below the cat. The outer panel that's horizontal above the shelf is stained gray with a spot of scratches on the left, like something has rubbed against it over time. The floor below is a pale, cool-toned wood. The light source comes from above, so the cat is seen mostly in the dark.
