Some are quite natural looking to me, some others, not so.

The cat in the arms is ok exept for the head, should be higher, probably set to 
the other side.

Stretching pose at top, never saw any cat in a position aproatching that, but I 
saw dogs do...

The cats on ther back and side are ok to good.

The one in the "Sphinx" position is wrong: the back legs should be symetrical, 
one on each side and almost under the belly. Dogs do take that pose.

Croutched cat looking down is good, but maybe not low enough.

Cat on back legs is prety good.

Cats are amblers, they walk by moving the legs on the same side, not crossed 
like the walking one at the top. That one walk like a dog, not a cat.

The menassing cat on the left is convincing.


I think that several "cat" poses are actualy dog poses applied to a cat model.
