Pretty strong work. There are some ways you could get the cats to stand out more. The lightest areas of the basket seem too bright. It might be that there is space between the wicker of the basket, but it could be distracting. Your dark areas could be darker. I think there is still some canvas showing through. One of the cats ears is folded? It might be neat to see it blocking the other cat partially.
