On a lighter note!

pasitheaI'm up past bedtime! Eee!
I wanted to photo this though
It's the first test of the next section of the Persimmon cartoon (She has just waved in her extremely frantic manner and made a sonic boom). It needs work. Here's the short list of things I see that are wrong with it. Any other insights would be very appreciated!
Okay, that seems like a lot more than it really is, I think. The things I am reasonably happy with are the anticipation going into the wind-blasted position for both the cat and the tree, the overlap of the leaves dropping off with the cycle of the tree, and the overlap of the cat going into his blown position. I'm really happy with the tree, its almost exactly how I want it, that was a brain-bending S-curve-a-rama of floppiness! I basically like the tension of the cat and expression and stuff, just needs some small cleanup.
PS: The wave-loop is longer than it will be in the finished piece, the cat gets blown out of scene at about the 4-second mark. I just haven't animated that yet.
Let me know if there's anything else that needs fixing. :)

- Shiver doesn't work. Part of this is due to paper noise, partly its just not convincing. Sweat drops perhaps?
- Cat transistion into blown position is rough and doesn't match start of loop. (I shot the wrong cels and was too tired to swap them out)
- Arms are too rubbery.
- Tail isn't rubbery enough.
