Can you believe some poor schmo actually PAID the Taxidermist for this?

I think it was Ed who posted one last year and it is well done too.

In fact I really liked it and made a small[very] effort to locate it to see if I might purchase it

.

I kinda/sorta hate to run down a mans work with out knowing a lot of facts. I reserve judgment on both until I see the whole case

Here's a couple more

Would you arrange your furniture around this piece of crap?

This one looks like some kinda devil cat. Maybe chupacabra.

And here's a pic of the best mount I've ever seen............

Fos,

How much did it cost to have that mount done?

They DO look ridiculous but the thing is if were judging them off of pics were a long way off. It's almost (not completely, but almost) impossible to take a decent pic of any cat close up.

I dont know what it is about the cats head but it just flat out doesnt photo well. I've tried it, I've seen it, I just dont get it.

I'd say the bottom picture Weed posted there is actually a better job of photography then it is taxidermy.

Yes, Wayne and Sue Miller of Waterford Michigan (WILD LIFE ARTIST STUDIO) are the best at creating a "lifelike" mount.

I've had them mount a couple animals before they decided to no longer accept custom work.

For the past several years they ONLY create and sell mounts for their eBay store.

Without a doubt, they do exceptional work!

Thankfully it's not mine! Taxidermist would know in no uncertain terms that it was unacceptable to me.

Fos,
I knew that you would not accept anything that looked like those.

On a positive side they are all "good cats". That is because any cat that is dead is a good cat.
