Description: This glazed ceramic sculpture depicts a cat nestled among bits of trash. The cat is gray-green, reclining on its right side with paws outstretched. It has golden eyes and perked ears, and it is thin and stares intently straight ahead. Wire whiskers protrude from the cat's face in a disheveled fashion. A piece of meat rests next to the cat's right paw. Behind the cat is a green-black metal trashcan filled with ceramic garbage. Metal squiggly wires sprout out of the trashcan. Alongside the trashcan are other pieces of waste - paper, a boot, a mouse, and a block of cheese. A black tire is propped up against the trashcan. The gray base of the sculpture is made out of wood.
