Beautiful lighting. Though looking disdainful, your cat at least holds still. Mine writhes like a worm on hot ashes when I point a camera at her. 9

6 - Like this, but wish the eyes were both lit like the cat's right. The few blown areas are a little distracting. Seems to be some noise/gamma here and there but could be intentional. edit:typo

Watch out for over-sharpening fringes on whiskers. Good otherwise.

Nicely done. I think there should be just a smidge more light on the right side of the face.

I try to capture my cats looks ALL THE TIME and you have done well. Recovering the texture within the whites below and to the right of the chin would have been favorable and I know I don't get that to happen. Good portrait.

Nice photo, but some of the whites seem overblown.
