Cat Curled on Window Seat in Burao Kitchen

Warm candlelight pools across a polished wooden table, reflecting small, sharp highlights on the smooth surface. A windowseat cushion rests beneath a darkened pane, where a cat curls into a tight, sleeping loop. Outside the glass, the deepest night sky presses against the frame, while rain streaks the surface in thin, blurred lines. The heavy fabric of the cushion and the dim light suggest the cool season. Beside the cushion, a ceramic bowl catches the flickering glow, its rim gleaming softly. The cat's fur absorbs the dim light, creating a texture of deep grays and blacks that contrasts with the bright orange glow of the candle flame. A drop of condensation rests on the bottom corner of the windowpane.
