Illustrate a young girl in a vintage, oversized coat, standing in a surreal scene inspired by Edward Gorey's style. The girl should be holding an apple, gazing up at a large, cosmic black cat with a body resembling the night sky, filled with stars and constellations, dripping slightly as if melting. Use intricate cross-hatching to detail the cat’s fur and the shadows on the girl’s clothing, adding a sense of depth and texture. Design the girl with simple, stylized features, keeping her expression neutral and enigmatic. The background should be minimal, with ample negative space to emphasize the eerie, otherworldly connection between the girl and the cat, evoking mystery and a sense of wonder. Incorporate subtle symbolic motifs, such as a few floating stars or constellations around the characters, to enhance the ethereal atmosphere.
