The Cat Guards the Art Museum

Create a deadpan vertical comedy short about a tuxedo cat working as an intense museum security guard. Open with a symmetrical wide shot of a quiet gallery, then slowly dolly toward the cat sitting beneath a dramatic spotlight beside abstract paintings. Use a long lens for compressed perspective, cool gallery lighting, polished floors, and mock-serious documentary style. Cut between close-ups of the cat’s narrowed eyes, twitching whiskers, and tail reacting to a harmless rolling toy. The cat finally pounces with perfect precision, then returns to its guard position and stares directly into the camera.
