Well I made some changes I think I'm a little blind as to whether this is an improvement from my previous post, but I hope it is! Thanks for all your excellent suggestions.

I should re-iterate that the cougar was a watercolor painting I did a long time ago, and the rest is a snow scene from my back yard. The painting has been altered, now,  as well as the background.

This is significantly better, Cindy! The cougar is brighter and the light source is clearly defined, coming from the left. Still, you worked in some shadows below the chin and in the rear and tail which look very natural. Also, you incorporated some of Mark's suggestions about the feet which look great. Your extra effort paid big dividends. Now you have an image!!!  :D

Thanks everyone. Now, to just see a real one....or maybe not! I'd be pretty scared. Mighty big kitty for around here. ;).
