Art style: Studio Ghibli. Close-up of a ginger cat sitting on a braided rug in front of a fireplace. He is focused on licking his paw and smoothing down his damp fur. The firelight highlights the texture of his coat and the steam rising slightly from his warmth. The atmosphere is incredibly cozy and calm. Palette of deep orange, warm brown, and golden yellow. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ FINAL STYLE ENFORCEMENT (this is the authoritative rendering directive — it overrides any style wording elsewhere in the prompt): Render this image in the following art style: Studio Ghibli hand-painted 2D anime (Hayao Miyazaki look) — lush hand-painted backgrounds, soft watercolour-and-gouache textures, gentle pastel palette, warm natural daylight, clean confident line work, cel-shaded characters with simple expressive features. CRITICAL: EVERY element — characters, foliage, trees, animals, sky and the entire environment — must be rendered in this single consistent hand-painted Ghibli idiom. Do NOT mix in photorealism or 3D CGI; keep one cohesive 2D painted look across the whole frame. Every surface, skin, fabric, material, and environmental element must be rendered in this idiom. Character appearance reference (MUST match exactly): - Mochi: A large, exceptionally fluffy ginger tabby cat with bright emerald-green eyes and a thick, plume-like tail. His fur is a vibrant orange with subtle cream stripes and a white patch on his chest. He has a curious and slightly mischievous expression, with long white whiskers. He is seen lounging on a patchwork quilt or padding softly across wooden floorboards. The lighting is soft and diffused, highlighting the texture of his fur against the rustic, warm tones of a forest cottage.
