The lines here are too busy. The curved lines zoom by the cat and lead us back out again—not good. Because we enter images from the bottom, the big line leading from the left side to the cat would have worked if it had started from the bottom and then led up to her. If all the lines had been perpendicular to her, that would have worked too. Try again.

Good leading lines are strong. Your photos will be much more compelling if you pick one strong line to lead to your subject. I've posted a few examples of what I mean.
