i love kitties! ANd this is a very nice shot of one. .. Critique wise, i don't know that I would change a thing, composition looks good, catchlights give the eyes some sparkle, maybe chopping off the butt/tail would be something to change...but that comes at the cost of opening up the composition to the rest of the background... Personally I'd make it a tad punchier in contrast but thats me.

Personally, I'd probably straighten up the lines in the background, cropping it in a little. Maybe use Shadow/Highlight to reel in the range a bit, then follow that up by adjusting the levels to give it some contrast. If you don't mind, I've attached a quick version from your JPG, I'll remove it if you'd like, though.
