I would say, if you like their style, think about what you like about them, and then consider how you can incorporate these aspects into your own style. Like, bodies are very thick, they have tapering legs, and giant paws, etc.
The soft eyes, actually. Lesser defined pupils, thick lashes, very stylized, and something about the way she draws them makes the characters look like they're always slightly squinting.
You know that look when someone smiles, but you can't see their mouth and instead you can tell by their eyes? Her art has smiley eyes and it makes me so happy.
I'm not someone who wants to style thieve, but I don't think there's harm in taking notes about general aspects about her style I would like to try. I'm not trying to be a copycat, you know?
Also, I would say that you all ready have a well developed style. It's good, and it's solid. I would say don't discount the art that you do all ready now. You're a good artist.
re-stylize the way I do eyes completely. Shape, style, coloring, even the pupils.
Thicker lines, more stylized cartoony look to the body rather than 'realistic'. (Exaggerated proportions, less worrying about making it look like real life cuz real life can be ugly)
Color pallets, small details like varied and interesting fashion/hair styles. ;v;
Well, if you're going for "cute" messing with proportions is usually a good start.
On a micro scale, making the eyes bigger compared to other features on the face is a good start, whereas on a more macro scale, making the head bigger can help make things more cute.
Also, if you were looking for a way to make your style distinct, you can always develop set ways of drawing some things... or perhaps everything if you want. Eyes in particular are usually good for showing style - just look at how recognizable and iconic anime is, and then take note of how the eyes are drawn. Sure, other facial features and the proportions of them help make the style its own, but there is a very specific way to draw anime eyes that distracts a lot from other features (other than maybe the hair - it's always crazy, lol)
Finally, one final thing to consider is how angular your lines are. Reducing the number of sharp corners can also give your art a softer appearance overall, and usually makes it look more cute. It could be even as simple as just rounding off sharper edges that are already present. It might be something to play around with.
Yeah, this is what a Studio Art minor gets you - pretty decent amounts of art style advice, but nowhere close to the skills to back it up, as evidenced by the trash fire that is my gallery.
(also, in case you didn't know this is just self-deprecating humor - I'm only joking!)

What, specifically, do you like about them?

Should try it out then, in some quick doodles or something?
Your art is beautiful!
