Everything is there: light, composition, angle. This is one of the best work I ever saw in a indoor production. You may feel the integrity of each character and it's possible to read an story: the model catching the cat doing catty prank; the cat were caught off guard.
Another thing I really adored is the courtains. You may see that they form a frame, making a picture into another picture. And her hair is a delightful detail, making the model totally natural, without intending to be beauty or sensual; but being both at the same time. This is something real breathless. I great work that must be seen.
Simply amazing. The composition is superb. Nothing in this is centered; an amazing feat (especially if you took the photo all by yourself). While centering is by no means a bad thing, it is something to be used as a technique and not a rule. Too many people don't understand technique. You clearly understand technique.
Your use of lighting is eye-catching. It is even stronger than black and white photography. B&W is eye-catching because it lacks color. Your work is catching because it lacks even more - making it stronger. Very little detail exists. This is its strength. It forces the eye into the very heart of the message.
Its message is clearly the woman chastising the cat for its actions prior to the shot. While this message would not have been lost in color or B&W; this way of presenting it simply places it in such a way that it holds the viewer; not allowing the eyes to wander.
Yet it still has detail enough to keep the photo interesting for when the eyes to inevitably wander. Silhouettes are fine and dandy, but bore quickly. The detail in the curtains add beauty to the photo. The yellow creates vibrant and sharp contrast to the black. This photo, on the contrary, maintains its beautiful interest.
I am impressed by how it looks as if the cat is actually feeling guilt over its actions. There is little need for detail here as the body language says it all.
The silhouette of the woman and cat gives it a relate-able feel by keeping both subjects fairly anonymous except for gender and species but any cat owner can relate to scolding their cat. And no matter what your cat looks like they are adorable and hard to yell at due to their cuteness. Makes for more of a self applicable concept to the image. Keeps it simple and I think more effective and to the point of what the over all intention is with the image

Elegantly done.
