That mount has to be in the top five I can remember even commenting on, that face is unreal in it's naturalness !! Just awesome face, the rest serves it well but cat mounts are known for the face work and natural appearance your taxidermist is well worth what ever the cost is for that work, simply awesome !! Congrats to him and you !! Sorry if my opinions or replies offend you, they are not meant to !

How much, if you don’t mind? Absolutely, And I'm sort ofa taxidermy snob. Cats are one of the hardest animals to get the face to look right. And that one absolutely nails it.

After seeing the pictures of it in process, I knew it was going to be great. Price is irrelevant really, as I'm sure many guys that have gotten pisspoor mounts would attest, they would of paid more if it was great.

That's for sure. I paid to have a life size bear mount done at my wife's suggestion. That doesn't happen every day so I went ahead with it. I wished I hadn't after I got the mount back, I've never been satisfied with it and it brings little enjoyment. Though he typically does good work, the taxidermist got it wrong on the bear. It's not the same fellow who did this cat.

That is the most real life like mount I've ever seen. 24 years Army Medical Corps I only want to be known as: A great husband, a good trapper, and a great steward of the land.

It's all about the form baby, all about the form, and the best T's know to create their own forms or pay to use the custom built forms in their industry. That is a wonderful mount for sure. Blessings, Mark
