These prompts are just starting points – feel free to mix and match elements or add your own twists. I often swap colors, change small details, or combine ideas from different prompts to create something new. Sometimes the most interesting results come from unexpected combinations.

A few last tips from my experiments:

• For more personality, try adding simple emotions like “sleepy” or “excited”
• Changing the color scheme can completely transform a doodle
• Don’t be afraid to try again if the first result isn’t quite right

I love seeing how these prompts work differently for everyone. Each generation is unique, which makes it extra fun. Your cat doodles might turn out completely different from mine, and that’s what makes Midjourney so interesting to use.
