Honestly you are off to a pretty good start. As everyone will tell you, you need to keep this stuff really dry. If that still doesn't work, try different settings. If that doesn't work, try a different brand. Unlike pla that is pretty forgiving on manufacturing tolerances, I've seen big differences in quality with PETG. In my hands, Id consider your kitty a perfectly acceptable print. Butane torch the hairs and you'll have a perfectly clean model

Edit: also play with avoid crossing perimeters settings.
