This is a perfect example of why cat photography makes it so interesting and worth the time. Personally I love the window on its left and the blurred couch on its right. It makes me very much think of people's portraits. In fact when you notice a certain scene in your house or garden, try to get the cat there and you can get great results.
Here you see the curious look in her eyes, after I silently aimed the lens in front of her. For cat photography I will most preferebly use the NIKON AF Nikkor 50mm f1.8 lens. Why I use f1.8 lens? Simply because you then have a great range of DOF to choose from, which can get your picture very intimate.
One very important tip: when shooting cats it's very good to shoot the picture at the proper height. Prefferably at the cat's height (of course depending on what pictures you like). But this way you will get very intimate portraits.
