I love this shot. You've really captured this kitty's personality/ thoughts at this moment (whatever cats think....*grin*)

I'm wondering if perhaps, having cut and pasted another layer of the cat itself and dodging the background to lighten it just a bit around the cat, might have made it stood out a bit more? I think that adjusting brightness/contrast might have blown things out or darkened the cat too much so, I think that dodging the background a bit lighter and perhaps, blending it to the darker outside edges might have highlighted the focal point of the cat just a bit more dramatically?

Nice composition, it's a bit dark for me but that may just be me, I tend not to like photos that are dark.

The eyes are great.

Why use an orange filter? Does it improve the b/w?

Great pose!!! Posibbly could have done with either a little more contrast to bring the cat out more (though I cant really talk about this given they my shot definitely needed more pop) or perhaps a touch of bokeh to mask the door frame

Looks really good to me too - SMILE!

I'm not a huge fan of pet portraits, but this particular one is VERY CLASSY! The fur in particular is so attractive with this processing - well done.
