Minimalistic Vector Animal Illustration

"Transform the photo of the animal into a clean, minimalistic, vector-style digital illustration. The subject should have smooth, simplified fur, skin, or feather details with soft shading, maintaining a realistic but slightly stylized look. Keep the pose and expression true to the original photo, with bright, clear eyes and soft, natural colors. Remove the background and replace it with pure white. The overall style should feel modern, cozy, and polished, similar to artwork used on custom pet mugs. Focus on sharp lines, soft lighting, and a professional, refined finish."
