I used sunlight from a door way as backlighting and a lot of Friskies treats to keep the cat from leaving.

Nice use of back lighting. Just as a personal preference, I like to see the depth of field deep enough to make every thing lighted as a featured element (the far side of the face and whiskers, for example) be in sharp focus. So, even taking my bias into account, this is a 7, easy.
