Out of context, 1.1 just looks like Eileen pointing at a normal (I think) broom
1.2 has four things going for it - The character's name is Kiki (not only the protagonists name, but the cat counterpart in the movie is called Jiji), the black fur (which, tbf, could be reasoned as a coincidence) the upward-pointed ears, and the green-ish eyes.

Image Pickin' BacklogI think I have a worthy suggestion! It is the title card for an episode from Steven Universe:

The reason I think this works is because the reference is pretty much all but in plain sight. The title of the episode is exactly the same as the work title except for adding the word "pizza". That being said, there might be a better idea still but this seems like a 100% visible reference.
Gonna go with 1.1. Even without some admitted bias on my part (since I was the one who suggested it in the thread), it's the most visually obvious reference to Kiki since Eileen is wearing Kiki's outfit and has a broom.
1.2 by comparison is very weak since outside of the name and her being a black cat like Jiji, it's really not obvious that she is a reference to Kiki's Delivery Service (and I feel If she was named anything else, then it wouldn't really be suggested), and while
is more obvious, I would much rather have a visual reference rather than a title reference.

Yeah I wouldn't have caught on if it wasn't part of a wider Studio Ghibli reference:
