I've continued adding quinacridone gold to the fur and the background, again letting it run as it wants. The more significant change is that I've extended both legs, which were looking a bit stunted. I think the one on the left (as you look at the painting) is now too long, and the angle of it a bit off.
So what will I do next with the painting? First I'll fix the legs, then I'll add the eyes, then I'll check the shadows around the head.
But I can't decide what to do with background. I'm not sure whether to run with it as an abstract 'color space', or to try and turn it into something more concrete, such as a carpet, or sofa with cushions.
