The central figure is a large, stout, orange tabby cat with bold black stripes, depicted in a minimalist cartoon style. The cat is shown in a seated, upright position, appearing somewhat startled or wide-eyed with two small, round, white eyes. Its long, curved tail sweeps upward along the left side of the frame.
Contrasting with the large feline is a small kitten tucked securely into a pouch on the mother cat’s stomach, mimicking the appearance of a kangaroo. The kitten also features wide, expressive eyes and the same orange and black tabby pattern as the mother. The artist's signature, "B. Kliban," appears in the bottom-left corner in a stylized script.
The entire composition is set against a plain, off-white background with a slight, subtle stippled or textured effect. Above the cat, the word "Momcat." is printed in a clean, simple serif typeface. The overall aesthetic is whimsical and graphic, relying on bold outlines and a limited palette of orange, black, and white to create a humorous and recognizable illustration.
