The green could be an effect of the photoshop elements post treatment. I am still learning the camera and all critiques are welcome.I will have to check for the white balance.

The cat has been celebrating St Pats day a bit early. Use the white on the cat face as a gauge to get white, might help.

Nice cat, good photo! Regarding white balance, I think there is a problem with light sources - they have strong pink and green, with not much in between. This is common with modern lighting and especially LED lights. A good thing to do is choose "Tungsten" in the WB menu on the camera before you start taking indoor photos. Tweaks in Photoshop.. can be a real headache Sometimes with odd colour casts I just make the photo black and white.
