About this puzzle
This puzzle is a close-up of an orange tabby stretched out on a soft bed, looking right at you with calm green eyes. The warm striped fur against the bedding gives you big blocks of similar color and texture, and that is exactly what makes it a satisfying solve.
Here is something most people do not know about orange tabbies. They are not a breed. Orange is a color pattern that shows up across many breeds, and about 80 percent of orange tabbies are male thanks to how the gene is carried. Every one of them has some form of stripes too. There is no such thing as a solid orange cat.

Tips for solving this one
Start with the edges like always. After that, this image rewards sorting by texture instead of color. The fur, the bedding, and the background each have a distinct feel, so group your pieces that way and the middle comes together faster than you would expect. Save the face for last. It is the most detailed part and the easiest payoff.
