A gray tabby cat with closed eyes and prominent white whiskers is lying on dry, clumpy earth in Parkhomivka, Ukraine. The cat's body is oriented towards the lower right of the frame, with its head turned to the right and downwards. A human hand is partially visible in the upper left, appearing to stroke the cat's head near its ear. The ground consists of bare soil, with out-of-focus green foliage in the background and several dried plant stalks with small seed heads, along with one distinct green sprout, emerging from the foreground and midground soil.
