As the title states I need your help. I need all of you to post pictures (GOOD PICTURES) Side views and front views of your goonch cats. Please do not spam with multiple posts. I would like this thread to be accurate and to the point. I will be reclassifying each and every one of your cats in my personal data base. If you have multiple cats please caption that with each photo to ID each individual cat. Any questions or concerns please PM me.
Goonch keepers I need your help! For the sake of Science!

Matt, can't tell it from the pics, but that thing is tiny. It is like 3". But for diagnostic traits, look at what it has morphologically:
Round eyes, which rules out rutilus, lica and the dwarf.
No cheek tubercles, which rules out the LLG B. yarrelli.
The fis is not dramatically dorso-laterally compressed and lacks the characteristic ridges on the spine which rules out suchus.
The only thing left is the HLG, B. bagarius.

I am thinking it could be what I talked to you about. That's all I will say on the subject.
Also on the subject of them being small I have had a HLG that size before and it was completely different look wise. The stunted theory may be warranted, but id place my personal bet elsewhere.
