The blah background kinda kills an otherwise engaging image. You nailed the exposure and focus, and the critter's cute, but . . .
If I may be so bold as to offer a suggestion, set yourself up for your BG first. Then wait for your critter to pose in it. Patience, patience, patience.

Natural selection is responsible for every living thing that exists.
D3s, D500, D5300, and way more glass than the wife knows about.
Would agree with previous comments + imo 'rear end / quarter' shots are rarely as effective / engaging as one with the subject looking towards cam to some extent.
Re the importance of bg ... for anyone checking tickboxes (big 'hi' to Zoomer), it's second only to the stuff that's essential for our chosen field of endeavour.
Far too many otherwise decent shots are spoilt because its importance has been overlooked / forgotten - yes, I realise / accept that in real life, we get lemons slung in our direction, but we often also have the option to do something about it too.
