For a CoA, you can pile in loads of ideas, multiple quarterings, quite a complex design to get across all the ideas you want to symbolize. Generally speaking, older nations will tend to have simpler arms, more recent ones tend to be more complex.
For flags, you need to strip it right down. A small number of colours, all geometric or with one, maybe two primary symbols.
In this case, the yellow sun might sit well on a plain blue field for the sky. In that case I would recommend quite a light blue.
Another option is to try to link back to the RL countries of the UK. The union flag is already quite cluttered and doesn't match your timeline. Looking at the sun symbol, it has a strong octagonal symmetry. That suggests to me the idea of using a lozengy (diamond pattern) background. You can fill that with red, white and blue to serve as a the link back to the UK.
A quick mock-up to illustrate that last design...

You might also consider bringing the flared lines in a bot so that they start from the corners of the flag.

A clear and recognizable flag, easily described or drawn. I see no need to change the basic design.
Looking at the details...
Like many heraldic beasts, the cat is a bit cartoony. If you're happy with a more modern look you might want to consider something like http://photo.pravdapskov.ru/upload/news ... 720108.jpg
With the current cat I would suggest nudging it a little lower and further to the right.
You might also think about using a brighter shade of yellow to enhance the contrast.
