Can anyone help identify this stuffed cat?

As the title says. Stuffed big cat. He’s not much bigger than a badger. We’re not sure of the age, but one of the other animals says 1933.
Would appreciate any help. We’re stumped 😄

Tom is his name.

It might come to writing that on the label!

It's a lion cub. The black tip on the tail and the mottled coat give it away. It's just bad taxidermy

Really?
It does look the most similar! Wouldn’t have figured that out in a million years!
Thank you!

A European wildcat also has that black tip on its tail and the head looks to be too small for a lion cub to me

He doesn't look much like a domestic cat though?

I think it's called a pussy.

Think the european wildcat tends to have banded black rings on its tail though. And looking at the paws it looks like it's not fully grown.

Whatever it is, I wouldn't care to get too close to those fangs.:eek::eek:

He is a bit scary!
