This is house cat, literally stays at its owner's home, never goes out to roam. They take good care of it and I have seen them always with him. So he is not comfortable with strangers and try to hid as soon as see them.

Hi, Nishand. Very beautiful cat, and very cute picture.

Regarding the focus issue, if you look at the shelf the cat is on you'll see that the front of the shelf right under the cat is very sharp, so that's where your focus was, just missing the cat. The cat is almost in focus, but is a little blurry. So you're close. I think you'll get there soon.

A cute shot of this cat, Vishand. One of our two is the same. The other one greets strangers with open arms (most of the time). The shelf really works for this image. I agree with Barbara that the focus is on the shelf. Autofocus just loves straight lines, so if there are any in the foreground your best bet is to go to single point AF so you have more control over where it locks on.
