I’ve seen this done before and thought I’d take a crack at it. I just couldn’t believe all the different results I came up with simply by changing the lighting. This shot was the best I thought, utilizing forward lighting and from underneath the orange.
In the background you are seeing the framed photo of my son and his wife and son that I'm giving them today when we go over. I printed it in BW and bought a nice silver frame. I hope they like it. It's the one I put on here..not the crooked one tho lol.
More of a 'styled arrangement' than a still life scene, today — with an oriental theme. Strangely, these more 2-dimensional arrangements are harder to get the composition right than the 3-dimensional full scenes — there's less freedom to place items relative to one another...

There's both an upholstered chair and a comfy loveseat within three feet of where Xyla chose to nap. Cats ideas of comfort are strange indeed.
