I usually try to make my character designs for animals simple, so I can draw them in a consistent manner, but I will try to keep these tips in mind just to make sure I get the patterns close enough to real life. ^^

Yes! keeping designs simple is so important, indeed!
it's always nice to inspire yourself from reality tho

Is there a subject on cat coat patterns that you feel like you can add to? Do you think that eye color variations (Tonkinese and Siamese eye colors, normal green to brown spectrum eye colors, breed specific sea green and blue green eyes, epistatic white, white spotting, and random mutation (Ojos Azules, Topaz, e.t.c.) blue and odd eyes, and pink-eyed dilution eye colors anyone) would be a good one?

I don't have a deep understanding on how eye genetics work; so I doubt I'll cover any of it ;o;

Can you do rufusing (how warm or cool the tabby field color appears) on brown (genetically black) and grey tabbies, rusting (reddish tint) on solid black and grey cats, and tarnishing (warm hues) on silver tabbies?

That would be a cool subject ;o;

Can you do a tutorial on white spotting patterns and rules on how white spotting works and doesn't work?

Rules for White spotting Patterns

1) Cats with more white on the underside than lockets and buttons invariably have white at least on both hind feet and often have white on all feet.
2) Cats invariably have completely colored tails aside from the occasional white tail tip unless they have a Grade 9 or Grade 10 (white spotting all-white) pattern, so completely white tails are only on Grade 9 and all-white cats.
3) Cats only have white ear tips or white on the ears in medium (bicolor, mask-and-mantle, and cow) and high grade (cap-and-saddle, harlequin, and van) patterns.
4) Completely white faces (like a 1920s/1930s inkblot cartoon style white facial "mask") are only probable at tuxedo Grade 4 white spotting or higher.Β 
5) If a cat has feet white spotting on only two feet, the two feet are most likely to be the hind feet.
6) White spotting works from feet and undersides to tail and top of head, so it doesn't leave large parts of or the whole underside area with color. There may be a heart shaped reverse locket on the chest and an island of color on a few toes and the heels, but no medium grade, high grade, or otherwise white cat with a colored belly or colored feet.

There are some nice tutorials about white spotting out there, so I don't think I'd tell more than what they have already said. I like to do subjects that have not been convered before, or a subject in wich I can add something else

I'm talking about a drawing tutorial on how to do realistic white spotting patterns, like you have one on tabbies and torties. If not, a drawing tutorial on color restriction patterns like Burmese sepia (cbcb), Tonkinese mink (cbcs), Siamese point (cbcs), and Bondanese point (csca) would be neat.

What about how to include psicological chracteristics into a character's design? Like acessories, color palete, etecetera? And how to balance the fashion and the pratical, like a belt, that can be stylish but have a why.Β
