You're close to done, I think. I like the way you massed the cat in , and I like the glow of the light on the top planes of the fur. The color is good, and I like the richness of the background. The green and red works very well.. The only suggestions I might make are to darken the values under the cat and the foreground table edge and to make its back foot maybe stick out a little more so it's not such a straight line down there. The muzzle is maybe a little bright , or maybe the light part of the muzzle is a little large -the edges of the muzzle are very sharp, you might soften the edges around the muzzle. Great ears. Definitely do some whiskers,make them stick out in front a little, too. I like this cat a lot. Very direct, good confident work.

Very good so far, definitely add those whiskers. I would darken the shadows a little more to emphasize the impression the body is solid. I agree the back paw is a little high and should be brought down. The muzzle is a little large, bring the bottom of it up a little and fuzz the edges of it with the fur texture. A sharp highlight in the eye will make it pop. I also agree with darkening the values on the table edge facing the viewer. This is a beautiful cat, and you have made it glow. I want to cuddle it. My cat has that expression when she is looking out the window, ready to pounce. Please repost when you are finished, would love to see it.
