This is a very cute shot. The angle is nice and it does have a bit of playfulness to it. the placement of your left arm adds a bit of modest classiness to the image. The Black and white effect adds a bit of timelessness to it. You look nice and relaxed and nothing seems overly forced as is the occasional problem with nude modelling.
As mentioned above, tho, the cat does tend to get lost in the shadows on the side. I understand that working with pets (Especially cats) tends to be difficult at best as they have different ideas about what they want to do and that might not match your own, but maybe a little fill flash on the floor behind you or pull the kitty closer to you so it contrasts more effectively with the lighter colored chair.
I always like black and white photos, there's just something about them. However, I do feel like the cat gets lost in the shadows due to it being a black and white photograph. Not to mention the overall image just seems a bit too dark which I feel takes away from the sweetness of the picture. It would've been more adorable had the cat been looking up or more toward you rather than away but as a cat owner I know how difficult it can be to snag them. Cats, well pets in general, move so quickly.
This is a lovely photograph though. Keep up the good work.
