Kitten Comes to Harlem

A somewhat washed out color photograph, possibly a Polaroid. An older Black man, shirtless and wearing sunglasses, with a gray mustache and receding gray hair cut short, is standing on a sunny day outside a white building (a house or possibly an apartment complex) with stone stairs. On his shoulder is a Siamese cat, looking at the camera. The cat is a beautiful baby but looks irritated.
