Cat Litter by Robert Gober shows a large (10 lb/4.54 kg) upright rectangular-shaped bag with a wide base and slight crumples, designed for sale exclusively for people who own a cat. The phrase “PRODUCED 3D2-9-89” represents a production code or date. The bag is mostly white, with a vibrant red strip coupled with a yellow and green stylized pinwheel design, with each blade looking slightly triangular with curved edges that are opposite each other. In addition, the brand name “FINE FARE” is written in black letters, highlighted in bright yellow, above a picture of a cute kitten. The kitten is the most detailed and colorful part of the design, placed prominently in the middle of the product.

Therefore, the kitten’s yellow and black fluffy striped fur pattern, with a white area around its nose and mouth, and its pink nose, is not only emphasized against the neutral background, but also adds a sense of realism. This naturally draws the audience’s attention, and combined with its wide gray eyes, gives off innocence, friendly, and charming vibes. Below the picture, the words “Cat Litter” also appear dominantly in large black font. This emphasizes to the audience the product’s purpose. The text at the bottom claims that the product has “Superior Absorbing and Deodorizing” qualities, a key selling point to convince customers that this product works better than its competitors. Consequently, it is not abstract but a very clear and realistic representation of a consumer product: a bag of cat litter.
