 After have been "drived back" by Mr Lybica, the romance can go on!..

(the 2 Felis silvestris (lybica) from Schleich (lightly repainted), the tomcat from Papo)

  The inter-breeding with feral cats is the main threaten for the Silvestris cats populations.

Feral cats are a serious problem to native fauna. It is sometimes ridiculous to see the discussions between institutions. Some defending the the native fauna and others defending the feral animals. It is another eloquent example how humans prefer to fight instead of joining their efforts to solve their problems and the guilty ones are not the feral animals but the humans.

These cat models are beautiful and their colouring works really well with the background!

Beautiful custom cats, their colour's so delicate and the stripes are so neatly applied, they look wonderful (and very at home in this setting)

many thanks to you three Rogério, Bonnie and George!

Congratulations beautiful painting, puts this Schleich feline well in value and very beautiful decor

very nice, I thought they were real!!

Many thanks to you both Jean-Luc and Thebritfarmer!

I don't know what the original paint version looks like Alain, but these 2 are absolutely splendid in their subtle beauty! and this was a fun story to follow :) even with 2 models the same you managed to make them look like 2 very different figures! Wonderful :)

Exquisite repaints of an obscure taxon, the true ancestor of the domestic cat!

Many thanks to you both Annette and Pardo!

Thank you Andreas! :)

(from.. Nayab?)

This cheetah looks so realistic out on the sand!

I love that first one on the dunes so much! The lighting and vast space are great

Very dry, but I think water is close . Beautiful sunset photos. What brand is the cheetah?

Lonely cheetah

Many thanks to you four Bonnie, Jolie, Roger and Andreas!
Roger you are right, it is a beach and I think this cheeta is from Nayab but I am not sure.. :-)

Thanks. Yes, it looks like Nayab style.
