so much floof! Lovely pose.

Even ignoring the eye reaction in the alternate shot, I think this is a nicer pose. Exquisite detail.

Maybe a constant light source like LED torch or LumeCube would be easier for her to handle.
Wondering too if you needed flash, but I'm unsure what your intentions were. I took a screen dump and played with highlights and shadows a bit, increased contrast a smidgin, plus reduced the cyans and a couple of other very minor colour tweaks, but still leaving an acceptably darker "layer" where her body contacts the mat. I'm not deriding your choice of flash (or anyone else's), but I am thinking your PP skills are ample to avoid flash in this instance. Just my 2c

With ample reason. Giant fluffball ready to wrestle!

The black and gold combination is great and I like how the big edge-lit cactus seems to be acting as a guard behind the fence
The light dispersion around the street lamps is a tad distracting. At first I thought it might be a dirty lens, but I think I discern some tree foliage, particularly around the nearest light. With a 2 second exposure I'm now thinking movement of the high leaves.

Great shot! very nice POV.

Shot me like one of your French cats.

Loved the "creamy effect" of the light on the petal

It took a moment or two pick this as a mural; clever angle selection. Is there any particular significance to the lions?

Quite an elaborate arrangement! Nicely timed and positioned to get the varying sunlight intercepts on the pillars.
