anime story scene
A cute hand-drawn four-panel comic in a soft, warm, slice-of-life style on a light cream background with thick black panel borders and slightly textured paper grain. Use simple rounded cartoon cat anatomy, expressive faces, clean black outlines, muted natural colors, and a gentle manga-like presentation. In the top-left panel, show 2 cats: a brown tabby cat with dark stripes and white muzzle sitting with eyes closed, looking pleased, while a mostly white cat with dark brown patches on the head stands beside it and affectionately licks the tabby's cheek; add 2 small black musical notes above them to suggest happy grooming. In the top-right panel, show the white-and-brown patched cat in the foreground looking toward a small calico kitten standing to the right; include a speech bubble containing the Japanese text "めい" above the kitten. In the bottom-left panel, show 3 cats together: the brown tabby on the left with a surprised or blank expression, the white patched cat on the right looking cheerful, and the small calico kitten centered in front between them, looking up. In the bottom-right panel, show a close-up of the brown tabby cat alone, facing forward with narrowed yellow-green eyes and an angry, jealous expression; add 2 short emphasis lines near the face and 1 small puff-shaped anger symbol to the right. Keep the tone cozy and comedic, with the visual joke that the tabby was happy being groomed until the new kitten appears. Use flat colors, minimal shading, and a charming Japanese webcomic feel.
