Cute kitty. And the composition is nice, though a tad dark. Where you can improve is to get the focus on kitty's eyes, not on his nose. People are naturally drawn to the eyes in any image (human or animal) so it's key to a good shot.

Yeah, that makes perfect sense. And I can see that I missed it a little.

I agree with jgr, a tad dark.
