Description
Added 6/14/12The Splinter Cat
A widely distributed and frightfully destructive animal is the Splinter Cat. It is found from the Great Lakes to the Gulf, and eastward to the Atlantic Ocean, but in the Rocky Mountains has been reported from only a few localities.
The Splinter Cat eats bees and raccoons, and the method used by this animal in its hunting of these animals is simple but effective. It climbs one tree, and from the uppermost branches bounds down and across toward the tree it wishes to destroy. Striking squarely with its hard face, the splinter cat passes right on, leaving the tree broken and shattered as though struck by lightning or snapped off by the wind.

So, yeah. Fearsome Critters are fun, and the Splinter Cat is one of my personal faves. There are a lot of cat-like Critters, really.

The design is, yes, but the idea isn't. It's a Fearsome Critter, something loggers in the 1800s made up to explain the strange things that happened.

Not a cryptid, really, more of a folktale like Paul Bunyan or the Hodag.
Thankya!

This is one of my favorites too, kind of the feline equivalent to Pachycephalosaurus. I really like the way you handled the head plates and color scheme. Well done!

Thank you much, DH! Glad you like it!
I don't know which I like more, this one or the Sliver Cat. The Hodag is pretty awesome, too, considering I pretty much live in "Hodag country".
