Cats and Dogs 101: Head Slope
Another budding artist welcomed my critique while drawing a feline, and I thought to compose it into a small presentation for others that may find it helpful!

Handy tips!
I will remember thus when I work felines into my art repertoire.
I've been looking at how I can adjust my anatomy in art, and that definitely includes face structure.
I moved away from the "Bugs Bunny" rounded cheeks on rabbits, starting with my Chloe Callisti art. I replaced it with a bit of cheek fluff, but not enough to confuse her with Lion head rabbit ( she is a Hussie ).
Now, a bit of that round cheeks look still remains in my otter and ferret art, because it somehow works for otters, and as for my specific ferret husband in my art, his chubby build supports the plausiblity of a non-otter mustelid having a rounder face.

I am pleased you also found this helpful! When I was first presented with this, it blew my mind a little bit and does allot to help you avoid all of your creatures looking like dogs. Even after seeing it the first time, I needed several reminders before it stuck.
Otters have very wide and blunt heads, so some extra roundness on their cheeks would support that. Indeed, while a ferret is a long and narrow creature, adding fat would fill out the face!
Sounds like you have some good points in mind to guide you already. I am glad my extra tid bit may prove useful to you! When in doubt, check out the creatures skull and compare it to a profile of them.

The diagonal plane between the Borzois' head crest and muzzle bridge is longer, creating the look of a more gradual slope in it's silhouette. The end of it's muzzle and the crest of it's head are still closely aligned. There is indeed a subtle drop, on the muzzle bridge, but it does not begin as close to the face as it does on felines, nor is it as severe.
