I'm a fan of the green eyes with the dark background.  A small suggestion would be to have the cat more in the right third of the frame for a shot like that.

You still have your NX500 that you took cat photos of two months ago?

I have access to it, yes

The NX500 is a much better camera than the NX3000, esp since the camera is much faster than the NX3000 which makes it more pleasurable to use.

Thanks for the feedback. These were intended as SOOC jpegs, no cropping or anything.

It's a bit tough taking photos of Tivo, usually I just "spray and pray", often the camera held at an awkward angle. Plus she's so dark that having enough light is challenging, both for image IQ and focusing. And the lens are wide enough that I have to hold the camera close to the cats heads. Plus her black fur, although very dark, reflects a flash, leading to tiny streaks of blown out highlights along the length of her threads of hair

Which just makes it  that much more satisfying when I get a good one.
