Picture of cat on a window sill

Not a straightforward picture of a cat on a window sill but a tabby cat resting and watching in the dying sun merging with the glowing yellow ochre of a weathered wall and the jagged edge of the shadow of a nearby tree touching him. I really like this cat picture. You can see the picture in larger format on Flickr on this page.

This has got to be a country with a warm climate. The wall tells us that. The photographer lives in Spain so that confirms things. The tabby cat is seen all over the world. It is almost certainly the most common cat coat type and is a direct result of the wildcat ancestry, the African or Near Eastern wildcat which has a tabby coat.
