Hi Jean,
I like this piece as well and love the way you handled the self-portrait issue. I find it funny though that your treatment of the cat has made the animal the focal point. Kitty is so strong that you are almost secondary.
I have talked to so many people at the PSOA conference that I am not sure who said what any more, but if memory serves me right both Daniel Greene and Burt Silverman said that they often do not aim for an exact likeness, but rather the essence of the person.
In your case I think you have taken it a step further, the likeness is there and you have accomplished to share something more, insight into your character.
