The scene depicts a black domestic cat (Felis catus) on a sandy surface in Donji Štoj, Montenegro. The cat is positioned in the lower-middle of the frame, facing rightward with its head lowered towards the ground, appearing to sniff or investigate the sand. Its body is in a slightly crouched posture, with the front right paw extended forward. A distinct, elongated shadow of the cat is cast directly beneath and to its right, indicating a light source from the upper-left. The ground consists of light greyish-tan sand, textured with numerous indentations, including several human footprints (a clear shoe print is visible in the lower left) and smaller, indeterminate depressions. Scattered organic debris, such as small sticks and dried plant matter, is visible across the sand. No human subjects are present. The environment is consistent with a sunny outdoor beach setting.
