Description
An in the works version of werecat anatomy, the skeleton at this point, though I'm working on finalizing it before I ink it in.

I was trying to work a lot of concepts into this.
For one thing, most werecat legends have either 'big cat' shifters like lions or tigers, etc...
The rest fo the legends have 'house cats' that are usually of massive size, five feet long or so.

So werecats shapeshift into big cats, probably weighing in at 175 lbs or so on average... BUT they have houes cat features

The domed, larger brain-case and te shorter, arched, muzzle contribute to teh 'house cat' like apperance (as does the pointed ears not shown).

I had tons of fun with their anatomy
The for-limbs, neck and spine above the ribs are based off the jaguar, an incredibly powerful cat. This would give a werecat the strength to pull down fairly large prey AND pull themselves up trees and the like.

The hind-limbs, ribcage, pelvis and rest of the spine are based off a cheetah, although the hindquarters are raised like that of a puma. So werecats are fast and can jump surprisingly far.

The tail is based more off a main-coon cat or a snow leopard then anything, long and heavily furred.

The skull mostly comes from 'when a human brain meets a lion skull'. For their size, the skull is almost the same size as a human of the same weights would be, so the human sized brain had to fit in there. That resulted in a large, domed brain case, very wide cheekbones and jaws, etc.

The muzzle is short and wide for much teh same reason a cheetah's is, good oxygen supply.

Annnd that's all I can think of for now... I'll probably edit this later when I'm not starting to fall asleep
