The first one looks best to me. Look at the color of the fur between the eyes, isn't that the 'real' color of the cat?



Yes. That is the one that shows the real color.

Auto color seldom works well with cats. However, on this particular cat you could try setting a white point left front paw (that is pure white, right?).



Setting a white point?

Also look at what your corrections did to the shadow on camera left.
I see two catchlights in the right eye but you must have had the light on camera left much further away to be casting the shadow like that?



I really didn?t know what ?catchlights? were, so went back to the photo and I see them. See this is what I mean. That is something I NEVER noticed before!!!! Yes you are 100% correct as the lights are still set-up from last night and camera left is further back!
