I wouldn't recommend any but the first one.
The person drawing the Cat tutorial (second link) doesn't have a very good sense of proportions or placement of joints on the legs, and well uh the rest of the description is "draw an arched oval and add head and tail". There are probably better ones out there.
Third link is very stylized (and it's always best to learn to draw realistic before cartoony) since he/she actually draws cat and dogs legs the same. They're not the same. And also, she left out drawing a joint for the front leg and the back leg's heel joint is placed way too high

Thank-you, everyone. ^^;
I'm having troubles with the eyes right now, specifically. :/ They don't look right.

sketch lightly...
when you draw circles go round and round on page then lightly draw it.. darken as you go along...
get plenty of ideas... like pictures....
mechanical pencils work good for fine detail.....

I'll scan a picture that I just drew tomorrow. ^^; I'm pretty much having trouble with my shading.

Thank-you, cowgirl13! I had a mechanical pencil, but I left it at my friend's house in October and she hasn't given it back yet. ._.

Some people just naturally don't have drawing talent. :3

But that's okay, because I'm sure you're good at other things. ^^

I can draw realism and semi-realism, but I simply fail at cartoons. :3

Yeah, some have natural talent in some things, others does not... I think it's just a kick-start having some natural talent though, I think everyone is able to learn, when drawing some just need to learn how to see and percive things differently while others do it naturally P: as long as you like what you're doing you could get as far as you want to.
