Glass kitty...
« on: July 02, 2012, 10:34:58 PM »
I've a wonderful glass cat by Licio Zanetti, and was just wondering if it's supposed to be a specific breed or just an approximation of catness? It's around the size of a small housecat - nearly 60cm long and about 25cm tall.

Thanks for looking.

That is some cat. It looks like a fighting tom or a major big cat threat. Is it signed? If it is, I'll beg and plead to put it in the zoo. (I'm shameless.)

That is never no cat - it is an approximation of something feral but not a f.domesticus.

Aye. Was just idle pondering about the breed of cat rather than anything to do with the glass itself - so I figured Cafe would be the best place.

Feel free to use any of the images. Let me know if you need them bigger.

You've not seen some of the felidae that roam the streets around here!  ;D

Seems Von Zezschwitz auctions in Munich had one earlier this year, and they thought it was a panther of some kind...

You're the second person to call it a bull/cat hybrid.  ;D
