"Hey YOU! Wid da camera. Got a treat? Me? I'm just sittin' here doin' nuttin'."
Cute cat and you've found some tension in the picture by photographing him (her?) near what appears to be the edge of a step or ledge. The just slightly off-horizontal (light-colored line) works ok, but might work better if you rotated the picture just a bit to increase the angle. And I think this would work out because my second thought is that this picture might be improved with more cat, less background. Thus after a slight rotation you could crop it and not have to do a bunch of cloning to get back to your original picture width and height ratios.
I love this cat ~ he/she looks so much like one of mine (K.C. aka Kitty Cat) but he is bigger, 17 lbs to be exact. I think I understand & agree w/Sharon about the shot ~ Very sweet pic though.
I'll try to post a shot of K.C. soon ~ they might be long lost siblings ;)
