The eye lids are to human shaped. Cat's eyes are normaly much more 
rounded. Normaly, the irises show almost entirely and you see some white 
almost all the way around, except some very small gap top and bottom.

Also, I suspect that it's just a dog model morphed to look like a cat. 
The cat can elongate itself about 20% from rump to the base of it's 
skull. The shoulders are VERY mobile. They can be shifted verticaly at 
least 2/3 of the hight of the torso, and moved forward by almost as 
much. Both fore and back limbs can be crossed at the elbows or knees and 

freedom.

If you search some models (like cat) go to TF3DM.com site, which 
supplies free models.

Hmm, yes. However, I need to animate them in Poser to be useful for 
me... those models do not have the right geometry.

The big problem with software like Poser, and to some extent Daz, is 
that they provide a few /good/ models, in terms of geometry etc, but 
also a mound of trash. I am not even sure if the models they sell are 
better than what they provide with the package. After all, many of those 
models are made by non-professionals.

Sometimes, I like to just zoom in into the scene and see what happens. I 
did that with Gravity and immediately noticed necessary improvements to 
the backwall texture and the stone texture. After changing those, this 
is the result.

I opened the eyes more, which is generally a more cat-like aspect 
although they often half-close them too, depending on circumstances. I 
have not been owned by cats for nothing during most of my life :-) I any 
case, I think that the iris map provided with the model is not really good.

That could very well be the case.
