The child is holding a ginger cat in their lap with their proper right hand. The child’s proper left hand is petting a gray cat on the floor next to the child. To the left of the child is a brown door mat. In the right foreground is a potted plant with three pink flowers. The porch floor is gray, the walls of the house are white, and there are two windows on the right side of the image. The photograph has a white frame.
