"Cat" is a 1913 woodcut by German Expressionist artist Christian Rohlfs (1849–1938). The artwork depicts a simplified silhouette of a cat, rendered in a bold and graphic style. The composition is framed by a rectangular border, and the cat is positioned against a background of angular and abstract shapes, reminiscent of the style of woodblock printing. The use of strong contrasts and a limited color palette is characteristic of Rohlfs's artistic style.
