I think people should have some class, sure not everyone is going to have a museum grade mount, and honestly it's probably not as important to most people as preserving the memories .
Straight talk?....Yeah right, go to a hospital nursery and comment on the baby with the pointed head, or talk about the butt ugly one in the corner, and see if you make it out of there with all your teeth in place.
The only place I see "straight talk' is behind the safety of a computer screen.

Nothing wrong with that cat head.That is what a cats head looks like when the pic is taken from the top.
Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

I was thinking the same thing ky coyote hunter, some people love to put people down. You don't see everyone telling Jbyrd he needs to drop 50# when he post pics of himself with a fish or animal. I've learned if your going to post on a public forum there will always be those few LOL go ahead say it if I ask you what you think . But you are wrong. 25# would get me where I need to be... LOL LOL LOL LOL

Pic's never can give justice to animals, and debating it over the net is ridiculous, those two pic's are different animals and the bottom one still looks funny to me.
I've seen an lot of cats here in my state, so I'm quite familiar with how they should be seen, that being said if the OP likes his mount why the jabber about telling him you don't, just pass on by and not comment !

Hard to see on the computer but on the bottom pic it looks like the right eye is a domestic cats pupil , slit instead of round . Maybe the top one too , hard to see on my old computer

It's a decent mount but anyone that's been around them can pick out the irregularities.
The vast majority of people who see it will say that's cool.
Personally, I'd be disappointed.
swampgas chili and schmidt beer makes for a deadly combo

Hey Clint,
That mount looks way better than most that I have seen. Cats are hard to do. There are some competition taxidermists who can do then that look like they are breathing. Maybe the ole big mouth critic has $10,000 to spend on that kind of job. I doubt it. All he seems to have is a mean spirit, and I would bet money his "Grandpa" would have slapped the taste out of his mouth for being so rude.
I have a deer head which was mounted in the '40's that my Grandpa killed and I would fight until every man, women, child, pet, and livestock within the county was bloodied, if that jackwad ever slighted the appearance of it to my face.``

After thinking it over I can understand how someone could be happy with a mount that is less than perfect. I have an antelope that I took in Wyoming when I was 14. We brought it back and had a local guy do it. Later on, after I had gotten it back one of the guys that had went on the trip out west saw and totally slammed it. Pointed out every little flaw and told me how terrible it was. I just laughed it off because I didn't think it was that bad. Especially since it didn't cost me an arm and leg to have mounted. After 30 years I'm still happy with the mount.
On the other hand I have a red fox that stays in a storage room in the back of my fur shed because I get ticked every time I see it. Looks absolutely awful and I don't need anyone to tell me because it's just so obvious. That experience has made me not want to get anything mounted ever again. I get a nice deer it's going to be a skull mount. Once in a lifetime furbearer, will be tanned to hang on the wall.
So to the op, congrats on your cat and I'm glad you are happy with your mount but I'm not going to tell you it's a great job. Like Nancy says, if you are happy with it that's what counts.
Poor people have poor ways.

Clints mount is fine. If you want to pick something apart, there's always something to find. That eye in the mount above is a good example. Would have never noticed until someone pointed it out. Then you can't see the good stuff that was done all around it.
FWIW, I save pictures of bad taxidermy, kind of a sick hobby. None of the cats shown on this thread would make it into my "bad taxi" folder.
