A small, orange tabby kitten is standing on a wooden deck and sniffing at something dark and metallic at the edge of a rock garden. The kitten has white paws and a light-colored tail. The deck is made of dark-stained wooden planks, and the rock garden contains many smooth, white stones of various sizes, with some green foliage visible. There are glimpses of a table, chair, and potted plants in the background, suggesting an outdoor patio or porch setting. The kitten is intensely focused on the object, seemingly investigating it with its nose.
