I really do like the perspective on this. It's a good, clean B/W conversion. The selective desat is whimsical enough to pass muster with me, though I'm not overly fond of it as a rule. Compositionally it's sweet, with all sorts of curves leading you gently to the eye, and the focus is exactly right; what needs to be crisp, is crisp.
The background bugs me enough that I'd work at trying to naturally blur it even more, but that's a tough job.
Nice shot! My name's Bond, James Bond, at your service :-)

macrothing - Thank you for your comment, I always appreciate them, especially when they help me with photography. His eyes are a lot like that, I just saturated them slightly, the minty green is all his :)
I blurred the background to make it stand out less, but I didn't want to move him from his chair, so I just left it like that.
I have attachments to him, and view this pretty much as a cute snapshot that my family will like. Usually I try not to take comments personally since they reflect the photograph and not me as a person.
Thank you for your honesty and all your help. And it makes a lot of sense.

Nice shot to capture the eye. Is this the natural color? (will check back later to see if you include in your comments). Perhaps a tighter and more 'refined' crop may have helped accentuate the eye even more. Don't mind the selective desaturation, especially with the tabby markings working quite well in b&w, however the 'objects' in the background detract slightly, in my opinion. edit:removed 'TN'
