Cat watercolor wip

This is a new watercolor I'm beginning, a cat's face.
I began with doing a lot of cat's hair with a small sable brush. Some people begin with washes to have the whole head defined, I prefer to define it with the small strokes of the hair. It may be because I'm usually more comfortable with line than color? I'll try the washes first technique another time.
Next step: the blue in the eyes and the rose nose.
