This painting shows a curious cat high up on the ridge, looking down towards two unsuspecting geese below. The cat is of white color with black patches all around, including the tail. Its eyes and mouth suggest a playful demeanor, while its prowling stance shows it is ready to jump. The two geese below are resting with eyes closed, completely unaware of the cat. Multiple artist marks attributes the painting to 'XU BEIHONG'.
