I think these are an excellent subject and the conversion to BW is a great idea that works well here. There is plenty to explore in the image and the cats are both fixed on something that makes us curious to guess. The tonal range is great. The background is very unobtrusive, which works well. The only thing I would like to have seen more of, is more of the body of the cat in front. If it was in the same position like the first cat, it would haven been and A+ image, in my mind. Nice.
Scary! Could be used in Halloween collage. The cats seem so aloof .. Maybe that's why they're cats? Might consider cropping a little off the left to even out the composition.

What can I say.
Thanks for all the nice comments.
I do love my critters and chasing them around with a camera from time to time is good practice for manual focus and composition on the fly.
Look through a glass eye.
Give it a few tries.
Nothing goes right in its time.

Something around the edge of the right cat that looks a bit funky, and the eyes could look a bit more natural. Its very subtle though. No nitpicks otherwise, great capture!
The lighting, dof, and neg space make this really appealing, as well as the fg cats intense gaze. I do agree having a bit more of its body with a slightly looser crop would help, but still its an attractive image.
Good stuff
