Black and white photo of a shorthaired tuxedo tabby kitten on a floor next to a black, old fashioned candlestick type telephone. The kitten is sitting up on its haunches with its paws against the mouthpiece, peering into it curiously. Another kitten can be seen a couple feet away, blurry but you can see its sleeping in the upright loaf position.
