A sleeping tabby cat rests, its eyes closed and ears relaxed

A sleeping tabby cat rests, its eyes closed and ears relaxed. The cat's striped fur is visible along its forehead and body. A person's hand gently cradles the cat, with fingers positioned near the cat's ear. A single strand of dark hair rests between the fingers and the cat's ear. The cat is lying on a patterned surface in the background. The scene has warm, soft lighting, emphasizing the cat's tranquility.
