I like it.

If we're nitpicking, when you zoom in you'll notice the eyes are not in focus. It looked like it focused in between the eyes. The cat's left eye is almost in focus though, very close.

The closer you are to your subject the harder it is to nail focus because of how shallow the depth of field is. This would be a good time to use a single AF point and place it directly on one of the eyes (preferably the cats left eye since it's closer to you, though ideally you would want both in focus).

I might would zoom out or back up just a hair to try and get the entire head/ears in the photo, but that's just me and it's really personal preference. This would give you a little more depth of field which will help in getting the eyes and more of the head in focus

Oh wow, you know your stuff about photos! I will try that next time! thank you.

Seems like the tail (?) is out of focus. Maybe if the whole body was in focus it would be an overall better photo.

Smaller aperture to get deeper DOF.

That's what I was going to say, too.

Personally, I would have used f/16 at least and with a flash.

I really like the out of focus background. There's just enough going on back there to make it interesting, but not so much that it's distracting.

Besides stopping down the aperture, another way to get the tail in focus is to move a little to the right. This will put the dragonfly completely perpendicular to you which will put the tail in the same focal plane as the eye.
