Viewing photos online via a variety of devices, and with a variety of tastes and eyes, you'll never reach a consensus 
The orange in background is strong, but I believe that is as much to do with the light as color saturation. I'm drawn to that area first because it's the brightest. For me, the brightest area should be those awesome eyes and face!
Otherwise, all looks great to me.

I don't see overcooked exhibited here. In fact, it's quite nice. Good range of tonalities, sharp focus, and nice composition.

What Linda said!
With my cataracts starting to occur, I've got the opposite problem, and worry that I am over-saturating my photos & might not realize it. It can be a fine line.

If anything you should be under saturating your captures prior to cat. surgery... cataracts are brownish yellow in color and warm up your image; after surgery the TRUE colors ( whatever those might be ), will be revealed... You might then oversaturate to get what you saw previously... Just ask Monet... he did not like post surgery results on his paintings. You are never going to duplicate what your eye has seen, so why not give it your own vision. I have just had both eyes done, so I am not just woofing... bob

The size of the area of the orange background is a little distracting, But I think it also pulls out the golden colors in this beautiful cat. And, it doesn’t look over cooked to me.

I agree with Linda and Muddyvalley. That bright orange is just plain distracting. A solid black background would really make it's face pop. It's not overcooked according to my taste but of course color saturation is very subjective.

i agree. The strong colored background does not overcooked make. Now, if the Kitty was supersaturated and sharpened, that'd be overcooked.

I think it's a excellent photo; focus is sharp, composition is nicely done from on corner to the opposite and I think you caught you cat's personality. nothing at all wrong with it

Thank you all for your comments. I forgot to hit store original so you could not follow my steps. I thought I was following the lights and shadow rule, Without that bright sunset sky I would not have that beautiful orange back lighting around the cat. Anyway thank you all.REJ.

This particular image looks fine, I would caution you that over saturation and sharpening can hurt an image, your son is seeing something in your processing that lead to that comment. But in the end, what makes you happy is what works for you.
