A domestic short-haired cat, white with brown and black tabby markings, is captured in mid-stride on a sandy beach in M'diq, Morocco. The cat, positioned in the foreground, faces the camera with light-colored eyes and a pink nose, its front left paw extended forward. The beach surface is composed of tan sand intermixed with small pebbles and shell fragments, displaying minor undulations and shadows consistent with strong daylight. In the midground, a calm body of light blue-green water extends to a prominent breakwater constructed from grey concrete tetrapods. Situated on or behind the breakwater are two white structures; the one on the right features a distinctive light blue, conical roof, indicative of the M'diq marina facilities. The background consists of steep, arid hills or mountains, predominantly brown with patches of green scrub and visible winding paths or roads on their slopes. Multiple communication towers or antennas are discernible along the upper ridge of the mountains. The sky is a clear, bright blue.
