I think it may have more to do with the fact that unless we see these cats compared to other cats who have been weighed or hear about them from photographers who have seen many to compare, there is no way to know what size any cat is.
Many would of us looked at Ustad and Jai and said without a doubt that Jai was larger, but we all would of been wrong, me included. What we are unable to see via photograph is body length and shoulder height. Jai was a more robust cat but that has to be taken in consideration, maybe he is more robust but a stocky 5'10 man may weigh less than a thinner 6'5'' man. It was an eye opener though and I will make sure that I never get caught up in calling any cat more massive than another unless I have some very good proof of it. Reply
