You draw cats just fine. I cant draw them any better, and I've had ten years experience. Try looking at pictures of real cats, try to flatten them out and just draw the outline and the major details just like a cartoon, then look at little 2d cartoons and then try drawing cats based off that, and if you want, using the real pic from step one, try drawing them realisticly.

Let me just say that I love how you drew your cats. Very nice and clean. If you ask me, you're doing fine where you're at. But if you still want advise, I'll try to give you some.

It might help to look at other people's cat drawings. One of my favorite places/artists that has/does cat drawings is here. It may also help to look at actual cat pictures. Nothing is better to help anatomy than actual cats. And finally, just practice practice practice.

Good tips, although that's essentially what I said.
And sorry if you get offended, but I'm pretty much stating my opinion on that matter, since everyone's so touchy today.

Forgive me, but I did not see your comment. There were no comments when I posted and after I did yours was in front of it. You finished before I did.

Lackadaisy! ^^ Glad someone else likes it.

I second the King cheetah thing. Coat patterns are definately something I struggle with, but I'm getting better and am starting to like it.
