Victorian Pixel Art Smoking Cat

Create a square 1:1 retro monochrome pixel-art illustration in a Victorian newspaper-etching style. The scene shows one oversized black cat sitting upright in an alley or narrow urban street, rendered with dense dithering, stippling, crosshatching, and chunky 1-bit pixel texture. The cat wears two accessories: a tall black top hat tilted slightly backward and round wire-rim spectacles perched on its face. The cat holds one curved smoking pipe in its mouth, extending to the right, with pale gray smoke curling upward in ornate wisps. Use a stark black, white, and muted gray palette only, with no color. The cat should dominate the center-left of the composition, facing up and to the right with a dignified, eccentric expression, long whiskers, shaggy fur, and a curled tail stretched along the lower right. The background is a dense vertical wall of old newspapers, posters, and building facades on the left, made from abstract unreadable text blocks, grid lines, and halftone marks; the right side opens into bright white negative space with faint architectural linework. Add a lightly textured ground plane with scattered paper scraps and hatch marks. Overall mood: whimsical gothic steampunk, like an 8-bit/1-bit retro game splash screen mixed with an antique engraving. Keep all text illegible and decorative, avoid modern objects, avoid smooth gradients, and preserve a crisp pixelated look. Optional customization: make the subject animal, wearing hat, with accessory, holding prop, in a art_style.
