abyssinian cat
A lifelike portrayal of a tawny Abyssinian cat sitting upright in a poised and elegant manner. Its coat is smooth and lustrous, with shades of reddish-brown that shimmer under soft lighting. The cat's yellow, almond-shaped eyes are striking and appear to look past the viewer, giving it a thoughtful or watchful demeanor.
