I almost typed buggle or pubble or something LOL) you might notice your backgrounds, like in the first one the background looks kind of busy so changing your vantage point might give a little better background to the photos.
Funny you mention "vantage point". After I started these photos, I read that to capture more of the animals "personality" you should get down on their level. Most folks, as I did, take most of their pictures "looking down" on the animal.
Such as this....
Afterwards, I laid on the floor while he lay on his pillow...
After getting down on his level, I noticed not only is it easier to control the background, but also, I think it gives a more "in touch" feeling to the photo.
Thank you for your input... G
