A beautiful black-and-white tuxedo cat is sitting upright in a proud, alert posture on top of a tall, round scratching post perch. The cat has classic tuxedo markings: mostly glossy black fur on the back, sides, legs, and tail, with bright white fur covering the chest, belly, throat, and front paws — creating the typical "white shirt and socks" look. The white patch on the face is particularly striking: it forms an inverted V or heart shape that covers the muzzle, chin, and extends upward between the eyes. The cat’s large, round eyes are a vivid amber color and are wide open, looking directly at the camera with a calm and slightly curious expression. Small white whiskers stand out clearly against the dark fur. The ears are pointed, and fully black on the outside with a tiny bit of light hairs visible inside.The cat is sitting on a circular platform covered in dense, light-brown woven sisal rope, giving a slightly rough appearance. Behind and around the cat you can see parts of a multi-level cat tree: tall vertical sisal-wrapped posts in different heights, some round wooden platforms, typical of an indoor cat enclosure at an animal shelter. Soft daylight is coming thru big barred windows from the side/back, creating gentle highlights on the white fur and giving the whole scene a warm, cozy indoor atmosphere. The overall mood is calm, confident, and quite charming — a particularly handsome example of a black-and-white shorthair cat posing like a little king on his throne.
