Hey man, i know it has been 3 weeks since you have posted this, but I too have had similar issues. I have an idea of what would be ideal, but have had too much life going on to do anything about it.
I was thinking of buying a used makeup mirror with a light ring, and replacing the mirror with a magnifying glass and attaching it to the articulating arm of a lamp. It would end up something like this. I am a cheap ass and think it is too much money for something I can build myself from some thrift store items, but you may not be as cheap as me or in need of the magnifying glass.
Anyways, good luck and let me know what you came up with

Nice setup! The right workspace makes the hobby so much more enjoyable. I added this magnifying task light last year and it’s become my favorite tool on my bench.
Which one of the Fostex kits are those bookshelf speakers? I’ve been thinking about getting a pair and I’m curious to know what you think of them.

I’d really like to recommend this LED magnifying lamp for painting. I’ve been able to have 2-3 hour continuous painting sessions sitting upright in a chair, and not hunched over. Alleviates all kinds of back and shoulder pain.
The focal length is a little short (you need to have the mini a little close to the lens), so on rare occasions the lamp gets in the way of the brush. However the vast majority of the time its perfect.

Honestly, I’d feel better about it if you weren’t working in a small, confined space.
I do two things. First, I use a table top-mounted lighted magnifier (like this: http://www.amazon.com/Brightech-LightView-SuperBright-Magnifier-Adjustable/dp/B00UW2IRJ2/ref=sr_1_16?s=office-products&ie=UTF8&qid=1460276697&sr=1-16&keywords=lighted+magnifier), so that it’s no longer necessary for me to put my face so close to my work. Second, I turn on the ceiling fan, at its lowest speed. I can barely feel the breeze from the fan, but it’s enough to disperse the rosin smoke, so that it doesn’t waft into my face.
I doubt that your cat will stick around after it smells the rosin, ’cause it’s not the most pleasant odor, but if it’s REALLY curious, you might want to put it in the bathroom while you’re soldering … just don’t forget to close the window first!

In addition to the items already listed I also have a good desklamp and magnifying lens. (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00UW2IRJ2/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1&pldnSite=1)
