End of Rotation - Let's Learn from Our Cat & Peppermint Purple SAL - Week 7

I know I said that I was planning to finish Let's Learn from Our Cat in this rotation, but I had to change my plans.  About 3/4 of the way through, I realized that I hadn't centered it correctly.  In fact, I was way off!  By making several unintentional mistakes and some fudging on purpose, I managed to complete the project within the fabric I had (I removed some fabric from the bottom and added it to the top so I could continue to use my Q-snaps.)  However, I discovered that somehow I managed to lose several rows inside the cat at the top--I'm still not sure how that happened.

Right now I'm trying to decide if I should consider it done at this point or re-chart the words inside the cat to be closer together.  I'm pretty sure the recipient will be happy with it either way.  What do you think?  Should I leave it as is or add the words?

After removing this from the Q-snaps last night, I also managed to stitch Week 7 of the Peppermint Purple SAL.  This time I used DMC 52.  There were two options for this square, one with diagonal symmetry and one with horizontal and vertical symmetry like the previous squares.  I chose to do the one with diagonal symmetry.

This is Let's Learn From Our Cat from Ursula Michael after 30 hours.  It's stitched on light blue 14-count Aida, but I've changed all the colors.  The color is truer in the first picture which was scanned.  The second picture was taken with my phone since it no longer fits in my scanner.  I don't have too much left so I will probably finish it during the next rotation, even if it takes more than 10 hours.
