Pet photo - Any feedback?
I am starting some Pet Photography and I'd like to know if I'm on the right track, what I could change, do better, etc. This concerns everything, from WB, to composition, to post-processing...
Feel free to give me your opinion.
Thanks!

Now, about sharpness and focus, the thing is that I am using a rather old camera (EOS 350D
) and a Sigma 50 f/1.4. I did focus on the eyes, but it seems indeed that the focus isn't quite there (front focusing?). Also, I shot at f/1.4, and even though it's a prime lens, I guess the sharpness isn't that great wide open... Do you guys think these might be the reasons? Self-taught photographer wannabe.
I love the pose and look of the kitten, but find the blanket pattern distracting. I also have to agree with the softness around the eyes. Do you have a speedlight? On that bounces? That could solve the issue of low light, that or try manual focus- take the power away from the lens and put your eye in command. 
Next time I'll probably choose a different blanket.
I initially found that the colors would match well with the rest, now I realize indeed that it is a little distracting to the eye. Self-taught photographer wannabe.
