Unknown Mammal Skull Mystery

[Will-Walk]

Hello, i'm new here, and wanted to plumb forum expertise about the possible previous owner/user of this fine skull:















Any advice or best guesses gratefully recieved. It seems to be likely an immature animal of some sort. The skull is perfectly preserved.

Ideas?

Looks like a domestic cat skull.

[Farplace]

Not sure, but it looks like a carnivour. I would guess a mustalid - perhaps ferret, mink, otter depending on where it was found. Any other clues?

[RKB]

It's a cat.

There was someone on here looking for animal skulls...so if you decide not to keep the skull, you might want to send it to him/her?

I must admit that it looks very feline. Could it be a domestic cat? where was it found?

[The Woodman]

I don't know about the prevous owner but the skull is of a cat of whatever breed. The orbits tell all.

Have you just dug up someone's late Pussykins!??!

Alas, poor Tiddles! I knew him, Horatio, a fellow of infinite jest, of most excellent fancy.

Nope, just doesn't have the same ring to it does it?

Could there be a skull difference between a feral, wild, and domestic cat?

It was sat on the loam beside a woodland, a little hidden by clematis.

Should i put out a poster for lost cat found?

thanks for all your help. The orbit (what is this?) appear convincing of petty cat. That's enough for me.

For your help, my thanks.
