Magnificent picture of a beautiful cat!!
As far as I can tell you didn't use any flash and that suits me just fine.
I think you did a good job on the disturbance, coz I can't find any.
I do like the way the area around your beautiful model is darkened just a bit...
It's a nice job Clint!

Cheers,
Anneke

Well I don't have a problem with cats but it's rare that I like a photo of a cat on TL and rarer still that I critique one. Cats and ducks are my little peeves.
However ... because it's you, I will.
The light here is good. There's no exif data to confirm my suspicion that this was a hand-held shot at the very limit of safe shutter speed for adequate sharpness, but ... would I be right?
I see what you mean about the blur around the cat. It's a tough one. Perhaps it was a little heavy-handed with the blur, when a careful lens blur would have the same effect?
All of these little picks and niggles aside, what I think you have here is a very cute portrait of an irresisitible subject! Nice.

Excellent capture of the kitty. It hink i tighter crop works better that the vignetting you have applied here... interesting expressing in the cat eyes... good model!
