Hello from the Critique Club!
What a cutie to start with, I'm a cat lover myself. The expression on his face fits very will with the title, it's the same expression all my cats have, "You are here to serve me." :)
That said, let's talk about the shot. Thanks for the detailed comments, gives me an idea what you have done already. When you say you cropped it a little bit, did that include cropping off the tips of the ears? I think this might have worked better if one as more on a corner of the shot and leading you in and out of the shot. Or better yet if they hadn't been cropped off at all. The lighting is a bit dull to me personally, just a tad more contrast to make the pop a little more?
I do like the way the one paw is leading you in and out of the lower right corner. Very nice.
The border seems a tad heavy for this shot to me, maybe if it was just a little smaller, not so thick? I like the colors used, a good contrast and balance to the shot itself.
Again, a beautiful cat and and a lovely shot overall. Hope these comments help!
Good Luck In Future Challenges!

| He looks very loved and quite self-assured! Great angle that gets you down to his level, up close and intimate. |

| I like the first white border, but think it would be better without the second border, it seems to close the picture in to much. |

I like this, the smug look on the cat's face looks as if he is saying,
"yea we are much better than dogs, thought everyone knew that!" ha ha good job |

Whoa, you must have been really reaked when you saw this looking in through the letter-box. Surprised there isn't more camera shake. Oh no, hang on, it's a border, silly me.
Good cat photo, well exposed, nice light in the eyes, and a pose that really says 'cat'. I just think thhe border is the most eye-catching thing about the shot by a street, and not a helpful street at that. |

| While I enjoy the shot and espeically the way you chose to crop it, I think the border is a bit over-powering. |

| This cat looks like he/she is planning to do something to prove the title :)) I like the whiskers. |

| I find the border far too overbearing and obtrusive for this picture. The photo itself seems good but it's hard to focus on it because of the border. 4 |

| Great Pic for the title, or the other way around. Would have liked to see the background more blury. |

Too good to be bothered?
I like the way this shot was set up... and what beautiful clarity! |

| The ears must be in the scene, your crop has this fault. |

| The border is a little intrusive. In my opinion you'd be better off with maybe half the thickness so it doesn't take the focus away from the picture. |
