I used the JPG that Bruce converted. The nutral one. I croped it. Adjusted the levels. Duplacated the layer, used diffuse glow filter (sorry I use that all the time I am addicted to it!) on the top layer. The I used the erase tool and erased the top layer of the cat away to expose the bottom layer cat. Then I Used the sponge tool and saturated the flowers and the kittys eyes and his ears. I sharpened a little sorry can't remember how much. I also used the shapening tool to sharpen just his eyes, and edges of his ears. Then I burned the dark parts of his fur the set for shadows, exposure was 4%. I dodged his whiskers a bit too :-). I removed some of the catch light in the green of the kitty's eyes. Then I cloned the catch light in from the right into the left...I don't know if anyone will like it, but I had fun playing thanks Bruce!! :-) Oh I almost forgot I had to blur the left side of the kitty a little because the contrast between his body and the white was too sharp. (I need to get a life!)

I think it looks great. I think I see a small amount of noise in the tail. I had that on my copy when I cropped it down and NN wouldn't get rid of it. I like what you did with the blownout highlight towel area!

Poor thing, it looks like she's lying in snow in this one. But I'll show it to her and see what she thinks!
