The ears ...
Select the "Head" layer (Huvud), click Node Edit
Now hold down the Ctrl key as you hover over the line...
when you see "add+" appear, click to add a node.
Do this again until you have 3 new nodes on each side
pull them and make them look like ears ... ....
Add new vector layer...name this layer "Nose". (Nos)

make an triangle instead of a elipse ,
make the line with the Draw tool

a "fuzzy" white nose ..
Draw another white elipse
and node edit it into a shape, maybe like mine,
you really just have to experiment with the nodes
and adjusting the arrows on both sides of the node.
The more you try it, the better the result .
  Then use
 the Retouch tool select Option
 and change Retuch Mode - Smudge,
my settings;
Shape; Round,
Size; 8,
Experiment with the setting,
This will take a little time to get use to and to get it just
the way you want. Take your "Retouch" tool and start in
"small" sections and pull away from your image with it
around the edges of the nose. I "Retouch" the feets to ...
For this brown one, i used the Retouch tool, smudge,
and a filter texturizer ...
Isn't it cute ...
* notice ..
A vector layer must be converted to raster in order to apply effects and filters.
Don't forget to save often ..
Work in layers and let late the fantasy flow ..
And why not do a tub of yours cats ..
here you can find mine
