I love Savannah cats! Anyway. On to the real criticism, ahah.

His hobbies look good. I especially like the idea of him doing kitty yoga and going kitty scuba-diving. The idea of him being flirtatious/fooling around is a little odd to me. I assume this is only with other guardian cats, which is a pretty limited number. Unless he is sleeping with regular cats... which is odd to me. I DON'T KNOW. Something about it just gives me pause. This is probably just me thinking about a lecherous cat and being ??? about that mental image though.

In terms of virtues/flaws, you'll need to delete one of the flaws. The form only allows for 2-4 of them, and he has five right now.

Vain and envious could potentially be combined. Whimsical sounds a touch too positive. I think his 'enigmatic' trait is more interesting and would recommending scrapping the whimsy for the enigma. Within enigmatic, I would perhaps expound upon how his constant veiling of his deep feelings or his past makes him unable to form deep, meaningful connections. It's why he can't just have one sailor scout, either. He has a ton of platonic relationships, but no true companions. To me, this would make the flaw much more significant.

Honestly, this quest is in really good shape!

Thank you for looking him over, Akina!

Yeaaaahhh, you're right. The flirting hobby is kinda... eehhh... So I dropped it and gave him a different hobby, one that he would definitely enjoy.

Also added a tiny bit to Vain and Envious to make them more unique from each other. And then I dropped Whimsical and added more to Enigmatic.

Added a challenge, too!

Thanks, again!

If you were just asking for a stamp, this would be approved. However, you want criticism! So here I am. Please bear in mind that some of the things I express below are just my opinion.

Exploring/Observation are very common activities on guardian cat quests. You write them well, but this is more of an FYI when you are looking at yourself for contest wins. Just something to think about.

After rereading this profile, I think it is very strong. But it is not the kind of cat profile that I read and think, "Now THIS is what we need in the shop!" I would recommend going through the profiles of cats that already exist in the shop and trying to distinguish the niche that Leonardo would fill apart from them. I definitely think this is a good cat concept. It is just not the type that I read and die for -- if that makes sense. I know that is a very nebulous crit to give, but it is really the only one that I have since this is a very solid concept.

However, most people win cats through RL commissions or auctions. So if you go that route, you could just stick with this! My criticism is based around your chances of winning Leonardo in a contest. If you submit this for a stamp, it will get one.

ON THE NEW HOBBIES:

The GARDENING is adorable, very unique, excellent.

MAPS is good too. My mind wanders to think HOW he makes these maps without thumbs, but I enjoy that the adventurer cat is essentially also making treasure maps. Certainly special, though a lot of cats have something along the lines of 'city familiarity' as a trait/hobby. You finesse it well here.

Basically, my same comments as before apply! This quest is a solid, good quest. I like Leonardo. He is a cat who makes sense. I don't think I can help you much more at this point. It's a good cat concept, even if it isn't a concept that gets into my brain and won't get out (though that very rarely happens with me in general). I know that kind of feedback is really awful to work with, but since you are asking for crit, I just wanted to give you the bottom line of it for me. He is a really great, well-written cat concept, even if my socks are not blown off by how much we need someone just like him to mix up our current cat population.

If you want a stamp on this, it's yours~
