    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 😄

    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.
