The cat's head is flat and features two frosted almond-shaped eyes angled toward one another along with triangular ears that break the circular plane. According to literature published by Steuben, "Cat" is "hand formed of solid crystal [and] seems to smile with knowing anticipation, its tail curled cozily about its feet. 

As Mark Twain, a great cat admirer, once asked, "...a house without a cat...may be a perfect house, but can it prove its title?"

The sculpture is crystal clear and in superb condition with no visible signs of wear.
