Thats pretty darn good! As an art student, I would recommend that you make the nose wider and adjust the shape and placement of the eyes. Try using photos online for reference.
check out the links below. I hope they help

Well, the nose ends would curve in more, where the nostrils are. The whisker base (the pads) are in a series of three horizontal lines, the middle line being the longest. About 20 whiskers are on each side of the face, but not all of them need to be drawn. The eye is exactly 1/2 way between the tip of th enose and the upper edge of the ear where it attaches. Fur inside the ear too, there's a fringe along the inner edge facing towards the other side of the ear (it curves slightly).

The muzzle seems like it is too long, but I think that's because the foot is pressing up on it - it's fine.

I draw cats a lot, their faces can be hard to do, not to worry. The thing I'd ACTUALLY fix is the pupil. Unless they're in bright sunshine, it's never just a slit that thin. Usually the pupil fills 1/3 to 1/2 the eye space.

Nice markings and ear angles, you got the toes right too, very good. I might emphasize the side line going down from the inner corner of the cat's eye to the nostril, since most cats have enough of an angle on it to show the definition there in most lighting situations. Nice job.
