YES! Indeed much better,well in my point of view i think it is more realistic very very good to me,excellent done 9mm4bax..and i hope you like it as well too..P.S may be the cat wont look dead if you had another pose for it, something like Stalking, like if is about to capture that rat..but thats IMO otherwise excellent done..Richie..

I like the setting; well balanced with good attention to the detail. I'm no gardener, but those plants in the bottom right foreground look exceptionally realistic. As you say, the cat pose maybe needs a little tweaking - perhaps if you bent the cat's head back a little and lifted it slightly towards the camera to give the effect of a tired cat looking up at an unwelcome observer? Anyway, it's a great picture.

Me tries CPR on the cat, Meoow-prtztztztz! And walks off having to use the emergency kit on myself. ;)

The lighting, vegetation and texturing --- every thing excellent about them. As for the cat and rat the experts have spoken. superb artwork though.

oh, I love it

Hey, what have you done with the cat??!!!, i can belive it!, you killed it!. I like i lot the vegetation and the cat posture but seems that you have buried the front right leg of the cat, and the rat seems a frog! XD. maybe you could put a bit of the focus of the other picture of the cat, but just a bit. Well its great, you always surprise me with your creativity but you will be agree with me that this rat never would kill the cat, jejeje. LOL
