First of all - does it meet the challenge? Well... I know you prolly lost some points from those who wanted a solid white background... to me it isn't a big deal, but to those who take it literally you might not have met the challenge.
On to the details of the image.
I like your composition here a lot. I think it's a good choice not to include that second ear... I think it keeps you in the photo, and I love the way that the mouth and nose are right on that rule of thirds. Also the eyes are just a tad off center which I really like.
In terms of the eyes - I love that they are tack sharp and fairly well lit! No huge pupils, and no red eye, overall nice use of DOF it isn't so shallow that you only have the eyes in focus and the rest of the face isn't. You did a very good job with eing the entire face in focus along with the whiskers etc.
The major thing that bothers me here, is something that was mentioned in a lot of your comments... the neck of the kitty is definitely blown out... and not having any detail there, really kind of ruins the photo for me. If it wasn't for that you would have a really great photo, but especially because the challenge specifically mentioned watch out for blow out... it's something that you should have looked at carefully. Also that light grey (shadow?) just above and to the right of the cat's head is a little bothersome.
I would suggest reshooting, and specifically working on getting detail in the white of the fur, it's not easy, but the excercise could be beneficial to your skills as a photographer.

| I think some desaturated coor would have had a lot of impact here. I like the composition. 6 |

| Now THAT's tack sharp. I might de-select the black a smidge to make it "lighter." But otherwise - great. If it weren't for this challange, I'd say don't touch a thing. |
