Leopard mount ideas.

[Betterinthebush]

A friend and I were going back and forth over the weekend about how we were going to get our cats mounted.

I’m torn. Because of the placement of where it needs to go I have to either go from the floor up or curve it inside a corner.

So, these are my two ideas.

Obviously these are just ideas and there won’t be such an enormous tree as shown in the second image.

Any ideas or suggestions?

The floor mount is really impressive.

Phil Soucy did mine. I love it.

Goodness what an ELK!!!! And fine Ivory there! I love the Leopard and how you have it positioned really nice.

Kanati Taxidermy is mounting mine. It’s supposed to be finished in the Spring. Here’s the pose.

In my humble opinion, I believe the second picture gets my vote. On that pose, the Leopard seems to be looking through your soul, waiting for you to make a mistake.

@bakerb, gets my second vote. Beautiful pose.

@Betterinthebush, how would you like the pose of your cat, relaxed, mad, p*ssed off, etc.? I believe that will also give you an idea of the pose you would like.

The second is my favorite too. The artist really captured so much in that particular piece that resonated with me. The only change I would make to the mount would have his jaw relaxed open slightly as though he were panting.

Had mine done like this....

This form and mount could easily be altered to go in a corner - like you mentioned.
In my opinion - by far the classiest mount of all pictured so far - you'll never get tired of looking at that one ...

I remember SCI in Reno many years ago and Animal Artistry had so many leopards out on display. Every imaginable pose… their website has lots of choices to give you ideas.

Kelly Ward of Ward’s Wildlife and Taxidermy based in Galena,KS did mine. I love how he’s on a big rock overlooking my kitchen downstairs!

Of your two choices I would choose the bottom picture!
Everyone’s pictures are absolutely gorgeous, in my opinion there is nothing better than a well done cat in the taxidermy world and nothing worse than badly done cats. All of the above are extremely well done.
