Golden Tail

A close-up of an orange tabby cat filling the frame, staring straight ahead with bright golden-yellow eyes and vertical pupils. Its short, warm-orange fur shows subtle darker striping on the forehead and cheeks, with white fur around the muzzle and long white whiskers fanning out. Ears are upright, lightly tufted with pale inner fur. The nose is peachy-pink with a defined dark outline. Background is a flat muted slate gray so the cat’s warm tones pop; mood is calm, confident, focused.
