 My cat follow. Very curious about the flash, getting him to sit still was the hard part.

On camera flash doesn't help this image.
Try to ues a more imaginitive lighting setup. Either try to get your flash off your camera, or use window lighting or a reflector to make things more interesting and softer.
Focus is also on the nose here rather than the eyes.

This isnt a cut at your photo (it's fairly well done), but if I see another close up face shot of a cat I think I am going to scream. It's too bad there are so many of them. My senses are getting dulled by the repetition.

This may be better with a different fstop. The nose is perfectly focused, but the eyes are a bit soft. Most cat shots focus in on the eyes, which are the primary feature, IMO.
