This photo is very well done.
I love the cat's eyes, which contrast nicely to it's black fur. They are crisp and in focus, and are really the focal point of this photo. The fur is also well lit, showing the appropriate definition.
The depth of field here isn't distracting, and creates softness around the subject, thus minimizing distractions.
From an artistic standpoint, when you see it's eyes staring out at the world, it makes you wonder what is intriguing it so, or what has captured it's attention. Because what had it's attention isn't showing, it creates a feeling of intrigue and possibility, which is absolutely key to creating a work of art.
One negative aspect for me is that the cat's left ear in the photo is cut off. As a general rule of thumb, when photographing animals, it is best unless you are doing a close up, to include the ear to the tip.
The other thing is that that DA watermark is very distracing, and not very appealing. I understand the need to protect your art, but perhaps there is a way to mark it that is less distracting..?
I really, overall, enjoyed this photo. It really is nice to look at. Good job!

Thank you ! I removed the watermark, I think you were right, it looks way better without it
I never noticed the missing ear .. I'll be careful next time !

This picture of your cat is very well done! Here you have more DOF which covers both of the eyes. I like how the cat is looking up through the window. Maybe at a lovely bird that just flew by???
Because of the window you have some lovely soft light coming in. Perfect to catch all the details. Good job!!

Her "looking up" pose is really nice - love it.
I would remove a little bit from the bottom - too much black there (doesnt add anything to the picture).
If the background to the right is distracting ... I don't know. I think it wouldnt hurt if you would've position yourself more to the right so we only see the white window.
Focus is nice.
Try to straighten the photo - here again its a little bit aslope (look at the window border).
Other than that ... well done!
