My cat, Panther, likes to sit on the stairs looking through the rails. I've noticed that all the cats I have had seem to like getting behind a pattern of bars and looking out.
Cropped, sharpened, curves, saturation.

I quite like that you got the whole cat in the shot, and it is indeed effectively framed. The yellow cast, indicative of "indoor" lighting, kinda matches his eyes. Pretty cat, too!
Framing is "ok". Might have been stronger if you could have moved in closer (or zoomed) and filled more of the composition with cat and side "frames". I have two cats and know how challenging it can be to catch a pose with them at times. :-) On the technical side a healthy dose of contrast boost and some light sharpening would really help this pop a little.
Good idea but I think you would have been better cropping this about half way up the cat. You also need to increase the contrast- the cat looks like it should be very black, but here it looks very faded.
