Modern 2D animated short, clean flat-color style with bold outlines, warm palette, expressive squash-and-stretch, comedic timing. Multi-shot sequence with direct hard cuts. Two original characters: a lanky ginger cat with a patchy white muzzle, round wire glasses and a knitted blue scarf; a plump white mouse in tiny denim overalls with a red backpack and one chipped ear. Keep both designs consistent across all shots — same colors, clothing and lighting. Setting: a cluttered inventor's workshop, afternoon light through a dusty window. SHOT 1: Wide shot. The ginger cat chases the white mouse between workbenches at full speed, knocking over a stack of tin cans and skidding through a pile of blueprints. Fast, physical comedy. [HARD CUT] SHOT 2: Both skid to a stop and freeze, chests heaving as they pant. They flop onto the floorboards to rest, faces shifting to puzzled and thoughtful. Soft warm lighting. [HARD CUT] SHOT 3: Close-up, cat and mouse facing each other in profile — a new camera angle, not a zoom. The cat says: "Зачем мы вообще это делаем?" The mouse shrugs and replies: "Понятия не имею." A slow smooth push-in on the two of them.
