He really captured a great "intense" look on your cat's face
(If that's the right word)

He just looks like hea concentrating on a stalk.

You see so many cats that look fake.....Not yours, it looks very real, in a pose like you would actually see them in.  Very Cool!

Sitting here looking at mine (shot in September) and comparing. Look at that fluffy tail. Their winter coats are crazy thick.

Congrats again  :tup:

That's awesome, glad to see you got such a great looking mount that brings your cat to life, cats are one of the toughest animals for most taxidermists to get that right look!  :tup:  :tup:

I don’t know, the smiling/happy cat mounts are growing on me...but I guess that one looks okay Rick. :rolleyes:
:chuckle: I was really torn between this and the smiling cat, this cat puts a smile on my face every time I look at it.
Pain is temporary, achieving the goal is worth it.

I didn't say it would be easy, I said it would be worth it.

I really love how real the eyes look. They freak my wife out how alive they look.

I tried to get Rick to go with this mount but he wouldn't go for it. He said not intense enough.

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield
