Well, Ivve been to Norway and had a layover in Reykjavik, but I've never seen a Norwegian forest cat. Sounds ferocious *grin*.

You set yourself a difficult task: a handheld self-portrait with an active cat and an on-camera flash.

The crop and the manner in which the cat frames your face is nice, but the cat's face isn't visible, plus his head and paw are blurred from motion. I think, with editing, it could become a decent photograph, but as is, it's just a snapshot (apologies if I seem too direct). There's a loss of detail in the highlights, and the yellowish cast doesn't work, imo, against the redness in your face and it turns the green of the shirt a alightly sickly hue. The glare above the head is distracting. These could be corrected to a degree.

As a B&W image, these difficulties would be eliminated and I think, by tweaking the contrast, you would come out with a successful image.

Just my thoughts, of course.

You should have rotated the picture 90° to the right, and then cropped off the bottom, leaving but the cat and the guy's face. 3.

with claws extended? Ouch! Well framed and interesting angle. Tad bit overexposed. Adequate sharpness but could be sharper. Overall the colors could be tweaked to tone down the redness of the face and overall warm cast cooled off a bit.
