Hi Kathy!
I just received my Raining Cats and Dogs this week and put it together this weekend...what a fun puzzle! Those umbrellas and lightning bolts created quite the challenge! Your pictures in the contest prompted me to go ahead and order it and I'm glad I did!
You have quite the dilemma on your hand! I would recommend Have A Ball mainly because it is in stock and you can get it right away! (My usual reason for ordering a puzzle...I also like to order a Wacky Wheel Deal or Freaky Friday every chance I get as it gets me to buy puzzles I probably never would have considered ordering).
As for your love of cats I was quite surprised at your Bill Bell choices. Did you not consider Leonardo's Cat? Type Cat in the search engine and you will see a lot of Bill Bell Cat puzzles (as well as the Trick and Teaser puzzles). All Wound Up looks really cute too!
If you want a good challenge, Spinning a Tail took me almost 4 months. It was quite frustrating but I was determined to complete it! I have heard some people got it fairly quickly and some were like me and it just took forever! Definitely good choice if you measure value by length of time it takes to complete a puzzle.
For traditionals, take a look at two of the Stave exclusive images by Jo Levasseur like Hunter's Moon and Morning Glories...especially if you like the drop out areas like in your Raining Cats & Dogs. I think the Morning Glories would fit your love of flowers and hummingbirds. I just ordered both of those so I will let you know when they arrive early this summer and let you know what I think!
I have Flower Power (though mine was titled Petal Power when I ordered it) and I thought it was a great challenge. All of the pieces look the same!
I'm not much help, am I? I just love them all!

Great choice for a traditional. Royce's prints are beautiful and all those colors should make it quite a challenge to assemble 200 pieces. I hope you'll document your progress with pictures and share your
frustratingjoyful experience.
