    Do I have to draw exactly what they drew?
    Community Answer
    No, not at all. You should draw it in your own style, and skip or add any details you like. It's your drawing!

    You can add some more realistic-looking eyes, ears, and whiskers. You can also make the tail a bit puffier.

    How do I make my cat look more like a cat?

    Cats have some traits that cartoonists exaggerate such as their whiskers and their big round eyes, look up "Cartoon Cat" and notice what all of them have. Those are the features that make it look most like a cat. You'll need to add such features to the word depiction.
