Jimmy,
Very cool shot. I liked it well enough that I popped it into PS and had a play with it. See what you think with raising the EV about .75 overall, a slight crop off the right side (to rid the appearance of the ear structures), and selectively raising the eye EV only about .25 with some LCE and local sharpening. Well done.
I love cat's eyes... They are beautiful!
