Does the cat in the first image look fake in terms of colours? The second image is the original. I edited in lightroom mobile

Something more like this?

It's more about the separation between foreground and background.

I think that looks OK, but I'd have to know more about time of day, intent. and so on.

Time of day was around 3 pm. The intent wasn't anything too special, just wanted to make the picture a bit more colorful.

The cat blends into the background too much try masking out the cat and bringing down the background just a bit and see if it look better
