i would have liked the image better if it was shaped more like a standard magazine. also, the cat's eyes are blown out and the cat's posture is not appealing.
This cat has a very elegant pose :-) Animals do not do well when photographed with a flash, especially when they are in a dark. The flash makes their eyes get that nasty glow (like red eye in humans) even when they aren't looking right at the camera. I've learned a lot when photographing animals. Don't use a flash. I found that cats especially like the warmth of lamps set up around them and more likely to be a good subject. Give them just a few secs for their eyes to adjust and then shoot without the flash...then their eyes are natural and look better. Also, arrange the lamps where the light isn't shining in they're face. I found that my cat will close her eyes. Use a favorite toy or string to keep they're attention and you can get some wonderful expressions. I love photographing my pets...unfortunately, DPC voters call them cliche shots and don't vote well with them. Looks here like you have a great cat. Work on getting a more uniform background.
