I have a question I hope you can shed some light on. I love great taxidermy work, but one animal seems to be harder than all the rest and I do not understand why.

Cat's. Bobcat's and Cougar especially. I am not picking out any work on the board as I do not want to offend any individuals, but honestly, most of the cats I see done really aren't very good. It seems it is mainly in the face that they really miss the mark, but even in muscle and body posture they seem to more often miss the mark than hit it. Why is this so? I have 3 good friends that have bobcat done, and only 1 would I consider even decent. I have deer and a fox done by the taxidermist who didthe decentbobcat, and I consider his work extremely high quality. The worst thing ever to come out of his shop was that "decent" bobcat.

I'd like to understand as I'd very much like to have a full mount cougar and bobcat done, but if I got backa"goofy faced" cat I see so often I'd be crushed.
