Yes, it is missing punctuation.
Explanation:
It needs a comma and a semicolon to separate the sentence and properly punctuate it.
A comma is needed to separate the phrase "as I turned around" from the rest of the sentence. And a semicolon is needed to separate the two independent clauses from each other:
- As I turned around
#color(red),# I heard a loud thump#color(red);# the cat had knocked over the goldfish bowl.
