An arrow punched into the meaty paw, slicing flesh but failing to penetrate the bone, though the force was enough that the Cat was twirled around
What are the important details here? I'm guessing it's the cat getting spun around. If so, you can dropl the whole phrase about slicing into its paw but failing to penetrate, as that phrases makes the sentence too busy. You generally don't want to put "but" and "though" in the same sentence... at least, not one after the other like you did here.
