A domestic cat is depicted grooming itself outdoors in Barnawa, Nigeria. The cat, exhibiting white fur with distinct grey-brown tabby markings on its head and upper back, sits upright on a light tan, textured ground surface. Its tail is prominently ringed with dark grey and white stripes. The cat leans against the lower section of a light grey-brown concrete pillar or wall, which displays vertical stress cracks. Its left front paw is raised to its mouth, suggesting oral grooming, while its right front paw rests on the ground. The left hind leg is extended outward, and the right hind leg is bent. In the upper left background, a light-colored fence or railing with vertical slats is partially visible under bright, direct illumination. Darker, irregular stains are present on the ground surface near the cat.
