Oh Darn!!! I wanted to see this one on the front page! You NAILED the cat personality!! This is awesome! I think me and 5 other people, okay, I'll grant the ones who gave it a 9 some sense . . .but the rest. . .bah. . .totally missed it!
No, we obviously are not. Lighting is a bit bright and kitty's eyes need the pupils made more black than green; shallower DOF and tighter crop would also really empahsize that Pissed Off Kitty look.
That IS a stupid gift, I have to agree :D I like your title too, but I am not too fond of the pic, I must say. It think it would benefit from a more exciting composition than just the cat plain in the middle of the pic. I also feel there is something wrong in the lighting. The pic lacks contrast overall, but the cat ON the CD has blown out highlights, thus directing the eyes of the viewer to the CD, rather than to the face of the real cat. On top of all that, you chopped of one of the eartips.
