I always love your black and whites. Being colorblind, I can appreciate this more and give a more fair critique
I am a little worried about certain parts of the pose though, but before that, I have to say you pretty much nailed the rule of thirds here. There's just enough cropped white space to make her stand out, but not seem as though she's floating in canvas limbo Her butt is one of the most important parts here so it's in one of the most important intersections of the "grid" and her face being the other key area is placed well also. I'm being lead by her back down to her face and over to your signature where my eye is supposed to end. Nothing is generically dead center and nothing is unnaturally straight. The composition here is damn impeccable.
My only real concerns are her ear placement and the location of her right arm (her right). I notice her head appears to be tilted downward slightly so her ear by the bow should not be at the very top of her head, rather down to about where her hair clips are. It would still work in the same upright position, but the placement is too high. Her head would have to be much larger underneath her hair for this to make sense.
I also can't seem to understand where her right arm could be in this piece if you didn't show it. It would seem that she would be very uncomfortable. I would think that at most for a pose like this, her elbow would be visible as the forearm went underneath her or the entire forearm would be outstretched like her left one for more comfortable balance.
Last few things. Her thong. Unless she's pulling on it, which would make the lack of visible arm plausible or it's just not on all the way, the right...string thing (I don't know what these things are called, I'm just a man) would curve downward along her hip.
The last real flaw is actually something you may know, but understandably choose full well not to out of how unappealing it looks. Her tail. The coccyx in human anatomy ends well in between the cheeks. [link] which is where a tail would protrude from. But looking at it, it would just be unattractive if you went for the proper realism so this point is just a "the more you know" tip.
I like the clean yet faded look, she's extremely cute, flaws aren't grotesque or in absolute dire need of prompt editing, and there's a little more personality here than "naughty kitty" that'd I'd like to see more of and one day be able to apply to my girls. She's girly and not overly couth.

Stellar work, mate!
