Imagine a whimsical desert landscape, illuminated by a vast, starry sky reminiscent of "Outer Wilds." In the foreground, a team of archaeologist cats, all in adorable khaki outfits with tiny hats and magnifying glasses, are diligently excavating an ancient, buried spaceship. One tabby cat holds a map that looks suspiciously like it was drawn by Quentin Blake, with squiggly, exaggerated lines and whimsical details.

To the left, a majestic sphinx-like structure resembling a giant cat face, crafted with intricate, Beardsley-inspired patterns, overlooks the excavation site. The spaceship itself, partially unearthed, has a design that echoes Edward Gorey's detailed, gothic style, complete with bizarre runes and mysterious artifacts strewn about.

Further back, a Maurice Sendak-style "wild thing" creature, but in the form of a giant, fluffy, and bewildered-looking cat, peers curiously from behind a rock. Scattered around the scene are birthday balloons tied to ancient pillars and cake crumbs leading to a small table where a celebration is in progress, with archaeologist cats enjoying slices of cake. A calico cat is balancing precariously on top of the spaceship, hanging a "Happy Birthday" banner that's glowing with the ethereal light, akin to Maxfield Parrish's use of luminescence.

In the far background, a silhouette of the spaceship’s alien cats, inspired by Arthur Rackham's fine, fairy-tale lines, is seen waving amicably to the archaeologist cats, suggesting they were once the ancient pilots of this curious vessel. Each element, from the detailed fur of the cats to the elaborate textures of the spaceship, should be rendered with care and a touch of whimsy, making it a delightfully intricate and humorous birthday greeting card.
