I wanted to use the Monopoly board as my Money shot. As I was setting up and taking pictures my cat jumped up on the chair. I took a couple of pictures, and continued to take more just of the board. I don't think this will fair well but who knows.
Used tripod, resize, aspect, color, and contrast.

Thanks you for minding the rules and not showing the play money...nice composition...good kitty....could have use at least another....do not see the necessity for the cups as the cat is not going to use it....maybe a drinking bowl or two instead.....the rug and wall colors are a bit blah...this might have been avoided by closing up more on the cat and not showing the entire play area.
cute. I sense yor careful set-up is about to be rearranged. You've done a good job of making the background unobtrusive, but natural. The composition doesn;t feel well reasoned out - perhaps cropping in so that the "monopoly" is coming down into the bottom left corner? Would bring attention to the important elements - what the game is, and the cat looking on.
Technical: Monopoly fits the challenge. The cat, while cute, actually detracts from the theme. Exposure is good, composition is okay, focus good, lighting is even.
Personal: Creativity wasn't stretched here, the game itself could have yielded some strong on theme shots without resorting to cat votes! :-)
This is such a funny picture... Looks a bit too busy though.... I wish you had a black or a green, gambling like background, maybe I would have cut off one of the glasses, but what it is is what it is. The cat looks very concentrated. How did he (she) do until the last? 9
