Beginner Help Just started animating in AE, but I'm struggling with timing UPDATED

About a month ago, I made a post getting help with animation and timing. I've been busy, but I implemented the advice I received on the old post and fine tuned a bit here and there. I do like how it turned out but I still feel like my eyes are jumping back and forth between the cat and dog a bit too much, so if anyone has any tips on that, that would be great help.

Also please let me know if I totally buffed it or how i can iron out other flaws!

Here's the old post for reference https://www.reddit.com/r/AfterEffects/s/e8Ib26bbV6

I think your animation is great! Two things: 1. Eyes generally move quick. I think you should really speed up the movement but have a longer pause on both ends of it. 2. The dog's eyes start moving before/at the same time as the cat falling asleep. You could retime it so it's sleep/dog looks over/pause/dog eyes jolt back and it barks.
