Wow, beautiful cat.  Nice job.   :tup:

Great cat, congrats.
Pain is temporary, achieving the goal is worth it.

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

Great job! Very nice looking cat. Did you get measurements? And weight?

I didn't take measurements but I wish I would have. I weighed him whole and it was 156lbs. The first cat I called in was 156lbs gutted. I thought that was kind of funny. This one seems to have a larger head but it might be my imagination. I'll measure the skull when it comes back. I can't remember what the first one measured but it makes B&C pretty easily. This cat doesn't appear to be very old. There was hardly any barrel showing on the canines. He did have some fresh battle wounds on his face. No major gashes, just small claw marks and scratches that will still scabbed up.
