Outstanding,reminds me of the member from years ago who had a nearly four foot niger cat.
Nice! I love how yellow (mine is more brown) and large are the light-colored patches and how much more streamlined the body is. Most usually irwini that size are almost (american) football shaped, including mine. Could be that this is a male or simply that it has strong competition for feed.
