Monday's Critters
Last offering from the taxidermy series at Inverness Museum. This is Felicity. An elderly puma who was caught in Cannich (in the hills above Loch Ness) in 1980. Not a native of this land, but of the Americas, she was almost certainly an escaped (or abandoned) pet. She saw out her days under the care of the Highland Wildlife Park.

This one looks less lifelike than the previous ones.

DeleteI agree David... I am of the thinking that it was an earlier work and thus a different taxidermist. Yxx
YaYa I've often wondered, if we were in the market for another kitty kat, what I could name it that was different and catchy...I think Felicity the Female Feline or Felix the Feline Mancat purrfect. :-)!!

Wouldn't that surpise a person to come into a room and a real one to be laying there like that!
ReplyDeleteThe puma is still beautiful, but we agree that it isn't as "real" as some of the others.

Good that this transplanted cat had a safe and hopefully comfortable end of time.
ReplyDeleteBring then back I say - well lynx maybe! I always think stuffed animals look sad, no matter how skilful the job.
