Default Pimp my kitty!

What would you do with this to get a printable shot?

_SAM4766 - Copy
F 7.1
1/160
ISO 200
50mm

This is straight out of camera, I would like to post production it to get something nice enough to frame and put on my wall. I won't have an opportunity to re-shoot. Don't be gentle, or shy. Please feel free to post edits!

I would first do a landscape crop of the image as below. The very blurred foreground does little to add to the image (IMO) It's also very underexposed so I did a quick white eyedropper and black eyedropper in levels. I also brought the red channel up in levels. I did what I could to lighten the eyes with a fake catch light to add some life to them, and finished with the usual unsharp mask. Best that I could do with the low rez image
