We are concerned with stationary solutions of a Keller-SegelModel with density-suppressed motility and without cell proliferation. we establish the existence and the analytical approximation of non-constant stationary solutions by applying the phase plane analysis and bifurcation analysis. We show that the one-step solutions is stable and two or more-step solutions are always unstable. Then we further show that two or more-step solutions possess metastability. Our analytical results are corroborated by direct simulations of the underlying system.
