I am still a bit undecided about the background. I could just leave it with the blank canvas - there's that green on green thing going on that looks ok. But I'm really not a big fan of open canvas. Right now I'm thinking of a small darning type diamond stitch. Saw it on Facebook. It'd still be pretty open, but maybe have a more "finished" look. What do you think?

I really like these cats! I think an open background would be nice; it would give it a more finished look.
If this were cross-stitch or counted thread, I would probably say that you don't need a background. I don't know whether that's because by convention, backgrounds aren't stitched for this type of design when you're doing counted thread, but that's my approach.
I don't know much about needlepoint, but I do absolutely love this design. I would leave the background as is because it really showcases the beautiful work you've done. I am sure it will be lovely no matter what you choose. --Andrea
The cats are beautiful. I think that for such a large amount of background on canvas, I would do an open stitch. I have over the years learned to embrace blank canvas spots, but that piece would be over my limit!
