A domestic short-haired cat, exhibiting orange and tan tabby markings, is captured resting on a textured dark grey ground surface

A domestic short-haired cat, exhibiting orange and tan tabby markings, is captured resting on a textured dark grey ground surface. The animal is positioned diagonally across the frame, with its body extending from the upper right to the lower left. Its head is oriented downwards and slightly to its right. A singular, intense light source illuminates the cat's upper back, right flank, and its right ear, casting defined shadows on the ground and creating a distinct contrast between light and shaded areas on the animal. The cat's left side and most of its face are in shadow. The ground appears to be made of paving stones or concrete. This scene is located in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. No other individuals or objects are discernible within the frame.
