In the first place, you do not have enough light on the cat to separate its figure from the background. When I am using flash and I have more than one subject I usually go to apertures like f11 for more depth of field.
I would try again with a small lens aperture using an accessory light to bring separation between the cat and the background.
I have no flash except the one built in and I never use it. My softboxes are continuous lighting. I don't mind the dark background but her leg fur became mushy and noisy perhaps because of some underexposure?
