Author, your photo is on theme, but could be improved.
Photographing against the light is always difficult, using a fill in flash is probably the best option for spur of the moment snaps, can be used even when you are in front of a window, you just need to move so you are at an angle to the window to avoid the flash reflecting.
Use of flash would also allow you a smaller f-stop, so you would get a sharper photo and the ISO would be lower, giving much less noise.
This does look like you have arrange the photo, so a tripod and extra light would have been much better.

Appreciated, ski, but ya didn't have to tell me twice. lol.

he seem to know perfectly well that that's his stuff

yeppers, nikita !! he is one smart cat !!

Fun idea, but could use some fill light

cool photo of the cat. id like to know how u managed to blend the cat into the background

i cant do any fancy stuff or anything, the background was a darker one and i just played with the lighting and contrast a little. and this is what i got, very unintentional really. and thank you for the comment

Great effect
