I'm expecting a pretty low score for a lot of reasons like soft focus, grain, title, and not the true sense of rule of thirds. To me his face is on one of the thirds, as are his paws, but it doesn't really jump out at you.
But I'm okay with a low score. I didn't have anything else, and I just wanted to submit.
Hopefully it's at least over a 4, although somehow I doubt it.

For me, when I didvide this into a grid, the intersecting points for rule of third fall into areas where there isn't much interest. It is a cute photo. I like the paw over the eye - for me though, it just doesn't quite meet the task of the challenge.
This could have been a great shot, but the area that is in the tightest focus, the claws, don't add to the "story" of the photo.
Different cropping would have enhanced the rule of thirds effect.
I have to up the score just for the title and more for the pose. LOL Wish it weren't so blurred. You need to cropt out part of the left so that his eye is at the intersection of the perpendicular and horizontal third lines.
