I would love some feedback

My mom asked me to create two digital portraits of her cats and I was wondering if I could get some feedback on them. I am pretty unsure about the brown cat portrait. I had to redo it 3 times and at this point I am just angry at it. I'm still learning the ropes when I comes to digital work and will take any advice. Thank you very much for your time.

I especially love the Siamese cat because there are less colors. The drawing is fabulous on both cats - second thought, I like the color action of cat #2, as well! Thank You, E

Well I think for someone who's new to digital you did great!
But I do agree with your thoughts on cat #1. I don't think he looks horrible but he has a cartoon-like appeal unlike cat #2 which seems more realistic.
I personally think the problem maybe the mouth. If you look at cat #2 his mouth is much thinner and more detailed than cat #1.

But other than that cat #1 has wonderful eyes and nose and the unique shading on the fur is really pretty.
