This is the best depth of field in your three kitty shots so far. I very much like having almost the entire face in focus. Combine this DOF with the pose from "Depressed?" and I think you'll break 6.0. Also think about the lighting. Her pupils are the widest here out of the three shots, and they look like vast pools you could fall into. It might also be interesting to get her looking into a bright light so you get the classic cat eye slit.

Unfortunately, outside of pet challenges, I think many people just don't care for this kind of shot.
