Gatto sorpreso sotto la macchina per la granita

Photorealistic low-angle summer street photo of a startled [black] cat standing directly beneath a vintage Japanese hand-cranked shaved-ice machine. A mound of bright white crushed ice piles on top of the cat's head like a snowy cap while delicate ice flakes spray around its face. The cat has wide green-yellow eyes, a tiny open mouth revealing sharp little fangs, wet whiskers, and a red collar with a small gold bell. The shaved-ice machine is tall, weathered teal-blue metal with ornate legs framing the cat, a cylindrical ice drum overhead, a large circular hand-crank wheel on the upper right, and a decorative header sign displaying the red kanji "[氷]" framed by blue wave patterns and small red flowers. In the background to the left, a single fabric banner flutters in the breeze, vertically printed with "[かき氷]" and blue wave graphics. Outdoor midday sunlight with crisp cast shadows, sparkling translucent ice shavings, realistic fur texture, shallow depth of field, and a humorous candid street-photography feel. 1:1 square composition, cat centered in the lower half, no other people or animals.
