Create a Gradient Map (Image>Adjustments>GradientMap...)
I used my own custom gradient of Purple, Orange and White.

Step 3:
The gradient map looks a bit dull and flat on it's own, so lets give it a boost with a vignette.
Take a new layer and create a new custom gradient. This time I chose a nice dark inky blue fading away to no colour.

step 4 of 6
I used the radial gradient (in reverse) so that only the outer edges would be affected by the colour.
Once the gradient was in place I changed the layer style to "Overlay" and took the opacity down to around 80%. (Think it was something random like 82%).

Step 5:
Time for some big cute kitty eyes.
Take a new layer and choose a colour for the eyes. I chose a lovely Turquoise. Use the Brush tool with the Hardness at about 25-30% and place one big dot over each eye.
Use the eraser tool with a slightly softened edge to erase any of the blue that overlaps onto the fur.
Then change the layer style to "Overlay".

Finally adjust the eye colour ever so slightly using Hue/Saturation editor (Image>Adjustments>Hue/Saturation).
Done! Meow.
