Curious Kitty

A tabby cat tilts its head beside a bright window, looking toward the viewer. Green eyes sit above a pink-brown nose, with white whiskers spreading across the striped cheeks. Books and houseplants occupy the room behind it. Their softer outlines leave the close view of the face as the clear center of the picture.

The cat's tilted head puts its eyes at different heights, which helps distinguish the two sides of the face. Dark forehead stripes bend toward the ears and spread across the cheeks. Whiskers are much thinner, crossing both fur and the background. Green leaves beside the window have broader, smoother edges than the tabby's coat. On the right, books and a pale plant pot supply straighter lines behind the curved outline of the head.
