Okey dokey then. To start off, i actually love the proportions of the cat (i find drawing the pesky things bloody hard!) the turned head is a great focus point, and really seems to draw you in.

I really want to know what that cat is looking at, so intently, that it is ignoring me <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/let…" width="15" height="15" alt=":P" title=":P (Lick)"/> (an amazing characteristic of any painting)

I find that the wall seems a bit wonky, if you take a ruler, it comes out a different angle from the end. Now maybe the cat is hiding a bend, or something, but if it were me, then i'd take my artistic licence and make that wall nice and straight <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s…" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)"/>

I love the colours of all of it, but i'm finding the bottom by your cat's feet just a little hard to make out - almost a bit messy. But that is a very minuscule insignificant but!

The shadow could be darker, but i don't mind, maybe you don't want it taking over the painting...[gosh i am being so mean and picky here, sorry!]

Buuut very well done, you're a much better painter than me! (my medium is just a humble pencil lol)
