If you believe, as I do, that the true subject of any painting is light, you won’t find much merit in 1, which is very flat in terms of value and colour. If you skinned a cat and laid that skin flat under a uniform light source, then the color and value of one stripe on the cat would be roughly the same all the way across the cat, as it is in number 1. However light falling from one direction onto a three-dimensional cat should mean not only the value but the perceived colour of the stripe should vary depending on how much light is reaching each individual point on the stripe. There is no sense that the person who coloured in number 1 has ever noticed this, which is quite poor.
I assume this work was done from a photo and not followed up on with observations from life, which makes it impossible to get an accurate sense of colour, as the human eye perceives colour in a much more nuanced way than photos can capture.
The composition of number 1 is equally poor and uninteresting. As some have said, fine for a bit of hobbyist copying and colouring in, but in my opinion entirely without artistic merit.
