Default canon SD450 for coins and cats

I just tested my canon SD450 powershot on my cat.

The eyes came out a bizarre glowing green like from
a science fiction movie. I haven't tested the camera on
coins yet, but this shot has me thinking of returning the
camera.

Any ideas here?

It's not the camera, it's the flash. On camera flash gives you red eye (or
green eye for cats) It's been a long time since studying this stuff (20
yrs or more) but perhaps just diffusing the flash will help. If not,
daylight w/o flash will certainly take care of it.
