Cats, Dogs, What's the Diff?

So my actual intention here was to draw a cat head - but it of course decided that it was going to be a wolf instead.
Not really having any artistic training or knowing where to start I decided to take what I thought would be a logical approach to this - start from the closest object and move my way back. So I of course started by drawing a nose. While it may seem like just a poorly shaped blob to YOU - it was really hard to get it into what shape it does have. I was having a good deal of trouble because the pen would wait about a half-second before responding to my movements each time I put the tip down. This was due to a setting - I'm not sure if it is a windows-native setting or not - but I later found and disabled this setting that would make your pen stroke be with a "right click" rather than a "left" if you held it still for a second on the tablet. This was seriously annoying because it would add a half-second response delay to everything I did with the pen.

Anyways - I wanted to proceed to finish drawing this wolf by starting with some claws but found that was easier said than done and then decided to just add some radial lines to make it look like a "pouncing".
