If I bought that Gram it would take the place of 50 catts lol. Btw that Gram was best of show with CCE/AOS.

I did not realize the show is indoor. why indoor in Florida!
Those catts' prices will put me in sticker shock .
Anyway those hangianum look quite large, are they as big as your Mammoth ?
still I think their shapes are much below your hangianum's shape .
are the hangs' tags I see in the photo: 150 (or 250 ?) , 200 (or 700?)
