No Paul, there's not a lot of empty space on top. Their ID and information papers take up some of the top part of the frame, which is, imo as the photographer, is an important part of their story. Otherwise they're just a couple of cats in a cage. And no, you can't see their feet as there's a part of the cage just below that obscures them. No matter what angle I'd have taken the photo from, you'd never see much more below what you see now, other than a little more of the cage.
As David had said, you may want to see more of their paperwork, but again, imo, it's not necessary. What you can see tells you what you need to know.
