I had a teacher once, who could look at me like that - great job with that stare
Cat composes nicely with your unique background

Wow, that must have been one frightening teacher! Feline stares are quite distinct. I'm always looking for the chance to add rainbows, even if only in the background Thank you!

Really nice --  There's something arresting about the cat's eyes -- I feel like it's going to ask me three riddles and I had better know the answers!

The contrast of solid and transparent (and somewhere-in-between) works very well, too!

There's something quite severe about cat eyes, like they're subjecting everything to extra scrutiny. In retrospect, I realize that my composition here was rather simplistic, but I also like the idea of a self-aware drawing — one that stares right back at the viewer, as if to question the role of vision. Plus, I always enjoy a good riddle! Thank you for the kind words

Thank you! I don't draw cats too often, but they certainly are fascinating creatures
