Added a layer behind the cat and selected a brick colored gradient.

Added the brick Pattern Overlay to the gradient layer and moved the cat to line up the brick lines.

Reduced the opacity of Pattern Overlay on the cat so that the cat's features are visible again.

Changed blending modes on the cat layer to Pin Light to create the ghostly look.
