When a bobcat mount looks right though you and makes you swallow hard, the taxidermist has got it down pat !!! Few will capture that 'live' look, but there are some that do.

Granted I've not seen a lot of bobcats in person or studied reference pics. For what it's worth I dont care for most of the feline and canine mounts I've seen, one of the reasons I'll never get one done. No disrespect to the artist, I just don't see it like you guys do.

I had one in a pen collecting urine when I was a young'un. When anyone but me approached the pen, old Sylvester would look just like that and begin his hissing and growling. He only put up with me because I fed him.

Cats are about the toughest thing for a taxidermist to get right, and the thing I hate the most to see done badly. Amazing how many people who will come out west and spend thousand to go on a bobcat or lion hunt, and then take it to their buddy back home who has never seen one before, much less mounted one, because they can save a few hundred bucks on a once in a lifetime trophy.

But not with that body posture. Both body and face are good, they just don't go together quite, and that is why it doesn't look quite right to me.
