A black and white cat stares directly forward against a deep charcoal background, its round eyes wide and alert, pink nose prominent, and white whiskers catching light against dark fur. The composition is intimate and frontal, rendered with painterly precision that captures both the cat's gentle expression and the subtle texture of its bicolored coat. Printed on premium ceramic and made to order, dishwasher and microwave safe, with the artwork wrapping a full 360 degrees. The first cup of the day carrying an artist's point of view instead of a logo.
