3. Exposure was bit too long (right ear is blurred)
4. If camera has bracketing you should have used it (or if it doesn't you should have fired one underexposed right after the first one and compose them).
5. If you used macro mode, then you were definately too close (barrel distortion on the shelf is visible and cat head looks larger than it should)
Most of this can be fixed one way or another but the burned details in the white fur cannot be restored in any way.
