A taxidermied steampunk bobcat? FTW or WTF? :)

From Deviantartist Phoenix-Cry:

After several months my Steampunk Bobcat is finally done!

This started as a very poorly tanned bobcat hide, the fur had slipped off half of the face, and it had some major shed and stretch issues.

Rather than just toss this amazing cat into a local landfill to rot I have added leather and metal to places where the fur fell out.

I mounted this cat from start to finish. The books I hollowed out to make them lighter to act as a base since the traditional branch didn’t seem to really fit the theme.
