Art style: 3D Anthro. A wide-angle establishing shot of a narrow, dimly lit urban alleyway during a heavy evening rainstorm. The ground is made of uneven, dark grey cobblestones that glisten with reflected neon light from a distant 'Diner' sign in shades of electric blue and hot pink. In the midground, a small ginger kitten sits huddled under the corner of a soggy, discarded cardboard box labeled 'Oranges'. The kitten is looking out at a large, overflowing metal trash can where a single, picked-over fish bone lies just out of reach. The background features towering, dark brick buildings with rusted fire escapes and flickering streetlamps that cast long, distorted shadows. Volumetric fog rolls along the ground, catching the cold blue light of the moon filtering through the clouds. Raindrops create thousands of tiny crowns as they hit the deep puddles, and steam rises from a nearby manhole cover. The color palette is dominated by moody teals, deep indigos, and charcoal greys, punctuated by the sharp neon reflections. The atmosphere is heavy with loneliness and the smell of wet pavement and old iron. Micro-details include the frayed edges of the cardboard box, the glint of water on the kitten's whiskers, and a discarded, sodden newspaper caught against a drain pipe. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 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: A high-quality 3D animated cinematic shot featuring anthropomorphic characters.

He is small-boned and thin, with a long, twitching tail that has a white tip. His facial features are soft and rounded, with a tiny pink nose and long, delicate white whiskers. He wears no collar.
