Great anatomy. I love the color choices you used and how you chose to blend them. The fur lay out on the body is just right. Only a little improvement is required if you wish to better your technique. ^-^.

Cat eyes are both round and almond shaped at the same time. Try to add a slight point at the extremities of the eye lids and if you want to hint more towards realism, you could always add a hint of a dark shading to show of their tear glands. I would also recommend that you smooth out the brows a bit. Unlike their other carnivorous relatives, their brows are much smoother in appearance and less muscular with exception to the pantherinae (panthers), the real big cats of the world (lions, jaguars, leopards & tigers)

I do sort of miss the whiskers that add expression to his/her face. In in his/her current expression, they might have turned and curled forward, nearly in front of him/her. Don't forget the "whisker spots", lightly shown in blue or rose to accent with the white. But I don't really think it's necessary. Some cats can have short whiskers, rather than the usual long ones.

I did, however, couldn't help but notice the fur on his/hr ears. The shape of the ears are great, not much needs to be said about it, if anything at all. But if this is a domestic cat, with a slight exception to Maincoons and Persians, the fur on the ears is thinner. Much thinner in comparison to the rest of the body. Sometimes in some breeds it seems to lack any fur at all, but they do. Try to make his/her ear thinner and less puffy on the surface. The inside is just fine. If anything, some neater strokes.

All in all, a fine looking cat. If I was a cat show person, I'd take him/her with me.

^-0 That is all and good luck.
