Great photo. Nice detail. Very nice tonality. I really like the framing/composition, and how the cat is looking off the scene. Peaks my interest and makes me wonder what he's looking at (perhaps a big juicy mouse :-) One minor nitpick, I wish the dof were just a slight touch deeper, just enough to have the centered eye a bit sharper, it seems just ever so slightly off. Very nice shot :-)

This captures the essence of cat-ness, I think.

Deeper depth of field would be better here to bring more of his face in focus.
