A wide, blank band of lighter paper separates the two scenes. In the lower scene a larger cat is shown in profile, curled with its body facing away and its head turned to the side to drink from a shallow plate placed at the edge of the composition; fine, diagonal hatch marks fill the surrounding floor area, and the paper shows spots, smudges, and subtle stains throughout.
