Looks like the cat's out of the bag. Not sure why it's not on Lego.com yet, it showed up on the website of a local store (there's more pictures).
As for the parts count difference, it appears to have a slightly different mouth, some different detailing on the colors, and some parts on the sides of the cheeks and legs (those 2x2 with 1 stud that curve from 2 sides into a point). Is that a new part btw, I don't think I've ever seen it before?

It's a pagoda roof piece, which has seen use in Ninjago and various other sets! https://brickset.com/parts/design-4190

Kitty looks adorable. Don't know if I'll get this one since it's less like either of my real kitties, but it's definitely extremely cute and I like what they've done to make the build vary slightly from the Tuxedo Cat.

Same. I have no ginger cats at all but I like the subtle differences and the use of that pagoda roof piece (thanks for clearing that up @Lyichir)

My tux cat may or may not get converted to a fully black one, but not entirely happy yet and still messing around in Studio trying to make it look closer to my own.
(and got some 3D printed whiskers for it)

The interview on Ideas implies that the fan designer gets a cut of this set‘s sales as well, which would be the first time! Lucky guy  Well earned I‘d say, and it‘s unsurprising to hear how well the first set is doing!

...and there's more cat colors to go

Looking at the pics more closely, I have a feeling the mouth might actually be hinged this time instead of switching parts for 2 static states.

It's closer to the original Ideas design than the Tuxedo cat, so the cut should definitely be shared with the fan designer!

In the end, if he wouldn´t get a share, it wouldn´t have been made under the ideas theme but as an Icons Set.

Looks like this Yu-Gi-Oh challenge is the new Dungeons and Dragons-esque challenge. I'm curious to see how many people enter; I know I'll do at least one (maybe more if rules allow). I haven't thought about this IP in years.

The otter set has leaked! Not as cute as the original submission, but they added a baby to make up for that ^^ Also, I think they should’ve stuck to a river otter rather than a sea otter, but that’s just my preference

The original submission was a sea otter so switching to a river otter would have been a step too far.
