1:20 Geoffroy's cat (Leopardus geoffroyi)

Geoffroy's cat -the next member of the Felidae Family- is a spotted wild cat about the size of a domestic cat. As he is native to a southern America region which roughly shapes what is Argentina, it could be said he is a truly Argentinian cat.

Curiously, he is the only cat which has been observed to stand up on their hind legs using their tail as a support to scan the surrounding landscape. Just like meerkats and weasels do. You can never say an Argentinian is not able to do something      
See this if you dont believe me...

(...and also spotted...like the cat )
   

Unfortunately I couldn't find a picture in this posture... instead I have found this beautiful one as the main reference for my sculpting:

Sorry for the bad quality of the photo.

Lovely, charming, beautyful little kitty , - and your model is right in the spot

It must be very, very, very difficult to make such a tiny cat, - fantastic

I know the pose you're talking is not exactly this one and I a
m not even sure it is a Geoffroy's cat once it is identified as a bengal cat. This is a very small figure with lots of markings, this time you'll need a microscope.

Agree! this is not a Geoffroy´s cat.
However, I suppose the alleged scanning posture of Geoffroy´s cat should be something very specific that I would like to see, like the way the servals jumps to hunt, not used by any other kind of cat...

This is the current status...almost finished.
I am crazy after dealing with so small and so many spots...    

A walkaraund will follow...

Incredible! The cat is not as wide as two of your fingers and you painted it with lots of spots and details!

AAAHHH, so nice sculpted little beautiful and great painted kitty

Wow this kitty is so small... and your paint job is a masterpiece !
I`m shure , that`s cost you a lot of nerves

Oh, what a cutie!!! Amazing work, you have great skill to work in a tiny scale

Amazing, Mgarat, an impressive MINI-miniature!! Congratulations for the entire family collection!!
When will you post a group-photo with all the cats finished untill now?

Beautieful work again!!

Wow what a masterpiece! It looks so good! You must've needed a magnifying glass to be able to paint so many spots

Thankyou very much to you all!!! Roger, Anasta, Kosta, Anna, David, Andreas and Emma...
