# Cat portraits that keep the markings and the attitude

People who live with a cat know its's face exactly: the asymmetrical white blaze, the torn ear tip, the particular green of the eyes, the look of total disapproval. A good cat portrait keeps all of that while adding a style: a sunlit windowsill painting, a cat in a tiny crown, a moody black background. In ImageQuarry you start from your photos, ask for the portrait in words, and compare versions against the real cat.

Name the markings and the eye color in every request.

## How to make a cat portrait with ImageQuarry

1. **Upload clear photos** Start from a sharp photo of the cat's face in good light, at the cat's eye level if possible.
2. **Describe the markings** Name the coat pattern, any patches or blaze, and the eye color.
3. **Choose a style and scene** Ask for a windowsill in sun, a painted portrait, a royal outfit or a moody dark background.
4. **Compare with the real cat** Check each version against your photos and download your favorite.

## Cat portrait requests

- **Windowsill**: Cats in sunbeams are a classic scene.
- **Moody dark**: A dark background shows eye color strongly.
- **Painted**: A painted finish makes a lasting print.
- **Regal**: Cats suit grand costumes.
- **Curled up**: Sleeping poses capture the cat's personality.
- **Two cats**: Pairs of cats make great portraits.

## What makes a cat portrait recognizable

- **Markings are identity**: Patterns, patches and eye color make a cat recognizable to the people who know it. Mention them every time.
- **Eye level photos**: Photos taken at the cat's eye level give the best starting point.
- **Expression**: Cats have subtle expressions; ask to keep the look in the original photo.
- **Small details**: Whisker color, a notched ear or a crooked tail tip are worth naming.
- **Starts from your cat's photo**: Upload a picture of the cat and describe the portrait it should become.
- **Every try kept**: Each request makes a new version and earlier versions are preserved.

## What is an AI cat portrait?

An AI cat portrait is a portrait of a specific cat created from its photos with an AI image tool, keeping its markings and eye color while changing the style, setting or costume.

_It is not a generic cat picture; the point is to keep your own cat recognizable._

## Cat portrait questions

### My cat never sits still. Which photo should I use?

A sharp photo of the face in good light, even a sleeping one, is enough to start.

### Can I keep her exact markings?

Name the markings and eye color as fixed in the request, and compare with your photo.

### Can I put two cats together?

Upload both photos and describe the arrangement; check each cat against its photo.

### Can I try a painted and a photo version?

Branch from the same version for each style and compare them.

### Can I fix the eye color if it drifts?

Ask for the correction on that version; each request builds on it.

### Where are the portraits kept?

In a project for your cat in the persistent library.
