CAT IDENTITY AND APPEARANCE:
Use the uploaded cat photograph as the primary identity reference. Preserve the cat's exact recognizable appearance, breed or mixed-breed characteristics, natural coat colors, fur length, markings, facial structure, eye shape and color, ear shape, muzzle, nose, whiskers, body proportions, and distinctive features. Suitable for any cat breed, including short-haired, long-haired, hairless, and mixed-breed cats. Do not automatically transform the cat into a black, long-haired cat. Preserve the individual cat's authentic anatomy, apparent age, coat pattern, expression, and natural beauty. Maintain extraordinary detail in individual fur strands, whiskers, eyes, and facial textures.

STYLE AND ATMOSPHERE:
Create an extraordinarily detailed, ultra-photorealistic luxury lifestyle pet portrait inspired by professional animal photography, cozy autumn interiors, elegant home decor magazines, and warm cinematic natural-light photography. The atmosphere is peaceful, comforting, intimate, sophisticated, and inviting. Emphasize authentic feline beauty, luxurious textiles, warm afternoon sunlight, and a beautifully furnished home.

COMPOSITION AND POSING:
Vertical 4:5 composition featuring the cat reclining comfortably on a thick, oversized, ivory cream chunky-knit blanket covering a plush neutral-colored sofa. Position the cat prominently in the center foreground, occupying approximately 75 percent of the image width. Its head sits slightly above the vertical midpoint, with ears fully visible. The body reclines diagonally toward the lower-right corner, with front paws relaxed and visible near the lower center-left. The tail curls naturally across the lower-right foreground, adapted to the cat's actual tail and fur characteristics. The cat faces nearly straight toward the camera with calm, attentive eyes and a relaxed, dignified expression. Preserve realistic feline posture and natural anatomy.

CAMERA ANGLE AND PHOTOGRAPHIC SETTINGS:
Professional full-frame mirrorless camera with an 85mm portrait lens, approximately f/2.0 aperture, ISO 200, 1/250-second shutter speed, and precise eye-detection autofocus. Intimate, slightly elevated sofa-level camera perspective, directed gently downward toward the reclining cat. Medium-close environmental pet portrait with subtle telephoto compression, natural proportions, and flattering perspective. Both eyes and facial features exceptionally sharp, with gradually softening focus across the body and background. Shallow cinematic depth of field and creamy optical bokeh. Ultra-high-resolution photographic realism with natural tonal transitions and no artificial sharpening halos.

LIGHTING AND COLOR:
Beautiful late-afternoon golden-hour sunlight enters through a large window in the upper-left background. Warm directional sunlight gently illuminates the outer edges of the cat's face, ears, whiskers, shoulders, and coat. Delicate golden rim lighting separates individual fur strands from the environment. Soft ambient fill light retains natural detail within darker coat areas without crushing shadows. A warmly glowing table lamp in the upper-right background contributes gentle amber illumination. Use rich caramel, honey gold, warm ivory, soft beige, creamy white, muted brown, and natural feline coat colors. Maintain balanced highlights, soft shadows, realistic exposure, and subtle cinematic warmth without excessive orange coloration.

FUR, EYES, AND TEXTURE:
Render extraordinary microscopic detail in the cat's natural coat, including individual guard hairs, soft undercoat where applicable, realistic fur direction, flyaway strands, subtle sheen, and accurate layering. For hairless breeds, preserve authentic fine skin texture, natural folds, and subtle pigmentation. Eyes must show accurate iris colors, intricate radial patterns, realistic pupils, moist reflective surfaces, and delicate window-shaped catchlights. Capture finely detailed whiskers, tiny nose textures, ear interiors, and naturally positioned paws. Avoid unnatural grooming, exaggerated anatomy, altered eye colors, or artificial expressions.

ENVIRONMENT AND BACKGROUND:
Elegant, cozy living room with a textured beige sofa, oversized ivory chunky-knit blanket, fluffy cream cushions, a softly patterned off-white throw, and a warm caramel-colored accent pillow. Behind the sofa, a large window reveals softly blurred golden autumn foliage and gentle afternoon sunshine. Upper-right background features a glowing brass or bronze table lamp with a wide cream lampshade on a wooden side table. Include a softly blurred leafy houseplant in a white ceramic planter, understated framed wall artwork, and warm neutral walls. Every environmental element should appear physically realistic, luxurious, and naturally arranged. Keep background objects softly defocused so the cat remains the unmistakable focal point.

FINAL QUALITY:
Photorealistic professional pet photography, 8K-level detail, authentic feline anatomy, lifelike fur or skin, realistic textiles, physically accurate lighting, subtle cinematic color grading, beautifully controlled highlights, natural shadows, premium editorial quality. No illustration, cartoon styling, plastic fur, artificial facial features, extra limbs, duplicate paws, unnatural eyes, text, logos, or watermarks. Preserve the uploaded cat's unique identity while recreating the reference composition and warm atmosphere.
