Cat art trade 2010

So this is my piece for the 2010 art trade from

My trade partner is
she wanted me to draw "Angel the cat" from this drawing of hers :thumb153999367:

I thought it was a fun idea to try and translate not only the cat and it's characteristics, but the whole image into "my style".
As I wanted to go for something realistic I had to think about how a cat could possibly have such small and wide angled ears... scottish fold with not really folded ears came to my mind and I found the perfect ref pic for the ears.

Hope you all like it and most of all ofcourse I hope Tarisha likes it. She did this wonderful painting of my cats fav.me/d35d84q
