cat portrait

Painted pet depiction

A cat portrait is a photograph, painting, or other artistic depiction featuring a cat as the primary subject.

The term usually implies deliberate composition rather than a casual snapshot—posed or styled to capture the animal's personality or appearance: She commissioned a cat portrait for her living room.

Professional pet photography has made cat portraits increasingly popular, sometimes mimicking the formal conventions of human portraiture.
