1:20 Black-footed cat (Felis nigripes)

This is going to be the 32th member of the Felidae Family for the FPP project. One of the smallest cats in the world and the smallest wild cat in Africa:  The black-footed cat

Despite his cute appearance he is an incredibly tenacious little cat, the southern African natives have a legend claiming these tiny cats can bring down giraffe. While this is untrue, it pays homage to the fierce determination of these feisty little felines.

This is the last genuine African species of the  FPP, not considering some remarkable variations and subspecies that I also plan to make.

In progress...

The cutest mini-monster kitty

So cute! In a realistic way

Be careful Lady giraffe!
I love the pose and I am sure it will look as nice as your previous works!

Nice again :)

Thanks Susanne, LeeAnn, Rogerio and Andreas I still have this little cat "at hand"....

Keep up your wonderful works of art! I wish I had your skill!

If your hand was like mine it was not possible to put all detail in such little figure. So, I assume you are a giant with about 6 metters high.

Another little jewel was born, thanks for your pictures showing all steps.

Exquisite as usual

Wow, another beautiful and difficult miniature to model. Congratulations !!

Great!

I have to admit that I'm a little disappointed.
The first picture in this thread shows this angry cat. An angry cat with funny, droopy ears.
(I couldn't stop laughing.)

But the end result is this peaceful walking, excellent painted Black-footed cat.
No funny ears to be found.  

Well done!  
But still a bit of a party pooper.
Haha!

Thanks Guys!!!

…and Bloodrayne, you are completely right!!!

In fact I am now making a new version of this aggressive little cat, able to shut down a complete flock of giraffes…

Here you can see my sketch (still without ears):
