Greetings each.
I think I have a Lynx!
He's been coming around for about a week now, usually in the evening, but now seems to have taken up residence here.
I took a couple of pix of the thing and sent them to friends. One of them now informs me that I have a Lynx (or crossbreed of one) on my hands. :-o
I checked on Wikipedia and all the signs are there.
He's very lovable and affectionate though now he has settled in. As long as
I keep feeding him I trust he will remain that way! LOL.
Does anyone know anything about these creatures, or have any experience of them in a domestic situation please?
He's currently costing me a small fortune in cat food, although my other two moglets seem OK with him.
Be good!
Cheers.
squidgelet, do tell your vet, and the local Cat's Protection League - and look in the local paper for adverts for lost cats. This is a pedigree, someone will be missing him. Cats are very disloyal and will move in with anyone (we've had several like that) but you need to be sure that he's not being missed desperately by someone else in the locality.
Have to say squidgelet, are you sure the owners aren't just on holiday and someone's letting him out for example. Even if a cross-breed he probably cost a lot so not a likely case for abandonment. If that is the case though he's lucky to have found you.
