Sorry -- you lost me on this one. I think you mean "global flood + YEC"
but even then it does not seem pertinent to our discussion.

You wrote:

"No, it would move the debate to how rapidly it occurred if one still
wanted
to believe in evolution. If kitty cats were found in the Cambrian
throughout the world, one would need to explain their stasis for such a
long time as well as the fact that they suddenly appeared."

Yes, "how rapidly" would also be a valid point of debate. I had
overlooked that.

On your second (strange) sentence, do you really think that if we
suddenly found "kitty cat" remains in Cambrian rocks it would seriously
change the minds of those who believe in "the fact of evolution?" I think
not.
