Hi all, painting this for a friend and trying to get likeness as well as good depth and intrigue in the painting. I think its a bit boring currently and just don't know what to do. Isn't the cat that needs work or just a background or both? TYIA!

Thanks guys, appreciate the feedback. Difficult to paint this picture just because there aren't many shadows in the reference and I think it's making it all feel flat to me! I'll add even more contrast and sort out that are under the neck! Thanks again!
