After looking at youtube videos of Servals, I want one.

So, they just took her pets from her, and won't tell her where they are? After everything's been OK for twenty years?

Fabulous. Just fabulous.

O'er the land of the freeeeeeeeee!

Here's my niece sitting next to her pet lynx.



The cat was awesome. It thought chihuahuas were a snack food. My brother found her in the city, half starved. She had been declawed and defanged, then abandoned. Some people suck.

Canadian pussy is exotic!

Poor lynx looks crazy stoned in that picture.

Rufus Lee King: So, they just took her pets from her, and won't tell her where they are? After everything's been OK for twenty years?

Yeah, this sounds like a "you-didn't-pay-us-the-renewal-fee-so-we-repo'd-your-cats" deal to me. Although I'm not a big fan of people keeping large exotic pets, twenty years with no problems is a pretty good track record.

/should at least tell her how they're doing

I read this as Claudia Lynx. Was disappoint until saw how cool'n'fluffy they are.

Captain Steroid: WTF she dressed it up?! O_o

Some cat ladies are hard-corps.

I'd PAY to watch a guy try to dress an adult tiger in a tuxedo.

/Heck, I'd even go to his funeral.

Now, just imagine you're weightless, in the middle of the ocean, surrounded by tiny little seahorses.

CSB time

My dad and I were driving up the Al-Can to move my sister back down to the Lower 48. And on the way we saw a couple of moose, a herd of stupid sheep standing in the middle of the road and a metric ass-ton of broken down RV's but the coolest part was in the north part of BC. It was probably 10:00 pm and the sky was still bright and we were driving up a long low grade when right at the top, this animal trots across the road, perfect silhouette, huge paws, tufted ears, as big as a German Shepard easy. And it was gone in a second. my dad goes "what is that!?" and my brain kept wanting to say "bobcat" but then I was no, in Canada they're called "lynx!" Best part of the drive.

/did it in a VW pickup no less
/CSB

I want one

what_now: She had a glamour shot of her exotic cat.

I...I cannot image what her house smells like.

St_Francis_P:Probably like pussy.

/Rowr

WIN!

Captain Steroid: WTF she dressed it up?! O_o

I think she should be charged with animal cruelty for dressing it in a feather boa and taking a picture.

Nobody looks good in a feather boa. Well, except for space aliens.



What a space alien in a boa might look like.

/yeah, yeah, it's not a feather boa

SultanofSchwing: O'er the land of the freeeeeeeeee!

Canada dude. Easy mistake to make, but they might take offense.

A Canadian lynx, although named for it's native country, do not have a chip in their necks that explode upon leaving said country.

Well, I hear that Ohio has pretty lax laws on exotic animals other than bears, and my daughter does want a pet.

This headline reminded me of my drive up and down the Cassiars. I had a staring contest with a lynx by the side of the road. (I was inside the truck). Aaaahhh - memories.

So obscure, and yet that's exactly what I thought of.

I found mine about 40 miles south of the Cassiar/al-can intersection. Lots of amazing wild country up there!

mmm...
Cougar.
Cougar?
Cougar!

So it's just like an American lynx except that it drinks bagged milk and says "aboot."

Permiter .. deactivated. Permiter .. deactivated.

Rufus Lee King: So, they just took her pets from her, and won't tell her where they are? After everything's been OK for twenty years?

I'm against private ownership of wild cat--lots of badness, and not just "they might get out" (lower the gene pool for endangered species, wild cat trade, etc.).

But I'm also a pet owner. Given that, at the moment, it's a paperwork thing more than an abuse or endangering the public thing, I would think letting her know the status of her animals (location, well being, etc.) is far from unreasonable.

A hah! So that's the missing lynx!

I inherited a leopard from a friend who died. It was a very nice cat, defanged and declawed and overfed to the point it looked like a little beer keg. Poor thing could barely hop onto the couch.

I finally found her a home at a sanctuary in California, but after that Ohio thing blew up, I made a bunch of phone calls to make sure she was safe.

holy shiat, look at its little spots! look at its tufted ears!

/odds on an ocelot article? yeah, ill settle for a lynx.

Coelacanth: I inherited a leopard from a friend who died. ... Poor thing could barely hop onto the couch.

well, yeah, it was dead.

/What lynx may look like

You just made my week.

How are all you people getting bobcats? I've always wanted a bobcat. Yes, I realize it's far more work than a simple kitty cat but I think the experience would be rad.
