I would have rated this higher if the foreground was cropped a bit more enhancing the rule of thirds and focus point. Colors, saturation and focus are all excellent. I really like the look you captured of the cat.
I gave this a five. I like the cat's smug expression withhis slight wink. I like the framing. There could be a bit more detail in the cat's face. I know this is difficult with a black cat. One of my cats is all black. I'm kind of sceptical that you've never photographed a cat before but I guess if you aren't a cat lover it's possible. ^..^
