Since there are about 25 species of african wildcat we need you to be more specific as to what kind of cat it is?

If your cat is "African Wildcat" it is very simular in size and markings to a common grey spotted house cat. A very small bobcat form may be close but which ever form you use will probably need some alterations.

Brent, check Touchstone, they have 4 hose cat LS forms listed in their catalog, 3 sitting and 1 lying down. They also show three bobcat kitten forms.

Try Jan Vanhosens (spelling?)small bobcats available from WASCO. We mount Most of our African Wildcats on those forms though you will have to alter the head on it a little, most likely shorten the face a little.

PS thanks for the laugh Tom there are only 36 species of cat total world wide.
