Your lens is so wide the photo starts near your feet. Your flash is on top of your camera leaving this area in the shadows. If your using a lens hood, remove that as it will help a little

It will help a little, but not much. That Tamron is almost the same as the Nikon 10-24mm and it always leaves a shadow with the on camera flash. If you're shooting interiors you probably should be using a speedlight with it anyway..

Lens hood is off, and it cast's a shadow even without using flash.

Looks like maybe there is a light BEHIND YOU that is causing the shadow. Check to make sure that there are no lights coming from behind you and see if the shadow disappears.

Have no clue to what shadow your talking about. If the shadows on this side of the coffee table and couch they are from the window in front of you shining light back towards you leaving a shadow like it should. Change your metering or adjust exposure compensation to brighten photos. You will Never get an Even exposure inside like this with One photo, 3 or 4 bracketed shots combined with HDR software could even it all out, but Not possible with one shot

If you notice, from the coffee table back toward the bottom of the picture you well see a sort of arched shaped shadow, that is only in the picture's not in real time, and I dont know what is causing it. only show's up on indoor picture's as with the lens at it widest angle

The angle of the shadow of the ball beside the coffee table seems to be the same as that you are concerened about. Light spreading from the door.

Lens is casting a shadow from your pop up flash.
Looking at the shadows, the bottom photo was taken with flash too.

Interesting. Not as visible in your first two images.
I can only guess, so I'm curious to see what others think.

Those are definitely caused by the shadow of the lens from your on-camera flash.

You need to move your flash off camera or use a longer lens (more mm).

I agree your flash must have fired on the second one also.

I'n in agreement with the other comments. First two shots have shadows from window/door light. Look at the ball next to table. According to Exif data, the two kitty pics were both shot with flash. If you looking thru the viewfinder, you probably didn't see the flash when the mirror went up.

Have a look at this.

From the flash...or another light source from behind you....notice the angle direction from camera and shadow size with these shots.

isn't tom saying he did not use flash at all on the 2nd cat pic?

If he did not use ANY flash, I can't explain the shadow
