Create one finished vertical meme image featuring a stern brown Scottish Fold tabby cat standing upright on a beige bathroom counter. Frame the cat from head to paws, centered and facing the camera with narrowed green eyes and an unimpressed deadpan expression. Give it two obviously fake bright yellow rubber gloved human hands. The left hand holds out an empty stainless steel pet bowl toward the viewer while the right hand is open in a questioning gesture.
Use warm ordinary bathroom lighting, a slightly awkward phone camera perspective, realistic fur and whiskers, a soft gray wall, a dark towel on the left, and a doorway on the right. Keep the humor dry and visually plausible except for the gloved hands. The visual joke is asking for more budget. Communicate it entirely through the cat's expression, the empty bowl, and the open hand, with no caption required.
Do not add extra animals, money graphics, reaction emojis, captions, speech bubbles, logos, watermarks, elaborate scenery, or decorative borders. Preserve the empty bowl as the visual punchline and output the completed meme image.
