Great job on the pix!!! Isn't the world of macro rather interesting?
For the lighting, since I don't have time at the moment to look up your camera specs, try tenting a piece of thin, very white paper over the pop up flash. On mine I use cheap very white computer paper about 4 inches in front of the flash. That should help with some of your lighting for the moment on macro/indoor shots.
Glad you posted some pix, and that I finally got a bit of time to get to see them! BTW cute kitties!;)
