Hello from Newcastle, UK.
Sorry Cindy, had size reduction on Lightroom when I exported.
Try this one.

I went with what keni said and had a go at it. All as Keni instructed and also a lot of dodging and burning to improve the contrast and to try and make the falls stand out.
I enjoyed this little challenge and thanks for letting us have a go at it Cindy.

Thanks Mark, being a drummer I really enjoy this genre of music.
Downloaded from facebook - not my picture but it gave me a chuckle.
I sent a Snippet Tool shortcut to my taskbar ages ago and one click with the mouse it is there.
Never regretted it.
As suggested above, use the magic wand tool (under the quick selection tool) and make sure contiguous is pressed.
Once you have your selection, click select and mask. (fig 1)
Click on Invert to select the cat rather than the background.
Use the content aware brush to improve your seletion.
Set output to New Layer with Layer Mask. (fig 2)
You now have your selection on its own layer. I created a white layer below it bet I find it best to drag the seletion into the new background (fig 3)
As you have the layer mask on your selection you can play with it all you like by painting black or white on the mask.
While I was trying this I see you have posted that you want the background black.
Press D to turn you forground/background to default black and white. Where I put the white layer, just fill with the foreground colour.
Alan.
Sold a Zenit E to buy the Pentax for the through the lens metering.

May not have been your fault!
It was not the fault of the left or the right!
Curious little thing, nice shot.
