    No disrespect either but it looks like it messed with a porcupine with all those whiskers.
    and zoo cats always have 2 dewlaps of big fatty pouches that just hang but overall it looks nice

    Lol lol
    I love it , everyone’s a judge
    If I put a panel cut like Russia, where the cat lives would you get it?
    Cat was mounted before making the tree , it art , sorry I didn’t get the claws ripping the bark and wood off
    If you really want to know he had no claws at all , he was declawed when a kitten. Put him on that tree 12 hours before I loaded it into the truck for the show
    And yeah , 13 point the only way you get that form is being a good friend of Daniel it’s his form , and he and I mounted it. We work together quite often
    He won best in world with a leopard mounted on that form, I believe that was his second time
    So two guys that have won 3 best in world titles with big cats put this up.
    Judge away ! We’ve been beat up before by the best judges in the world
    Not a problem
    And I guess these 2 live cats just have 2 many whiskers , huh ?
    ( big smile)

    Wouldn't have changed a thing Mr. Dennis as most couldn't set their Leopard mounts next to yours for comparison. But if ya can lets see'm boys and girls.

    I wonder why everyone always has to see someone's work
    before they can have an opinion
    It doesn't take someone mounting a leopard to know what leopards look like or the
    anatomy. A face full of fake whiskers all the same length looks bad even the pics
    they put up show how it should be. Overall, I like it. A range map would have added some mystery.
