It may be that you won't agree with me, but in my mind "candid" implies a photograph of a person at a candid (i.e. unaware of the camera) moment. So, to that way of thinking, this doesn't really meet the challenge. That being said, I like the photo and the interaction of the cats.
At first I set this one in the "oops" CATegory, but looking more closely, see that a bump is in order. This is a nice capture with good elements of humor due to the title. It does not reek of candid, but animals are touchy and often prefer not to have thier picture taken. You have solid focus on both the subjects and the blurring of the background at the top portion does well to maintain the crop chosen.
There is not much 'art' value in this shot and I probably would not find myself looking to purchase a shot like this unless it was enhanced with text and a cute catch phrase that my daughter would find acceptable on a poster, but then again, it could work well as a poster-type shot so it does not seem to be just another snapshot to me. If there were more vertical depth in this, (portrait crop), I think the shot would have a load more value for the average viewer.
Overall, a nice shot, not much interest value for me, but well taken. I will bring this up to a 4.
