There’s a cat that would make my German Shepherd pause and think.

Look at the size of those paws! He’s going to be a VERY BIG CAT, someday soon. This (probably) isn’t going to end well, and I have always had cats, but if they were that big, they’d kill me and eat me instead of waiting for me to feed them! LOL!

Pretty cat. I can deal with the idea of a lynx for a pet better than some other critters.

Someday this matchup is going to generate another headline of a less pleasant sort.

The lynx is a wild animal with wild instincts. It may be okay now but this isn’t going to turn out well.

A dangerous wild animal and an eleven year old. What could possibly go wrong?

Lovely child and a beautiful cat. I hope it all works out well for them.

I've had bobcat/housecat mixes. They can be great pets. It might not turn out badly.

It may be ok...they are not lions, but still predators.

The trick is to have a large dog to gather the 'tootsie rolls'.

It’s utterly beautiful but those paws! Gigantic! Hope it’s declawed.

I’ve got an 18 pound Orange Tabby that makes me wonder if I don’t have a family of illegals hiding in the crawlspace and using the cat box at night.

I’ve seen smaller cowpies!

At least the lynx instinctively covers its scat like domestic cats. African servals, which are very popular nowadays, do not naturally try to cover their scat making them difficult to house train.

A lynx isn’t that dangerous. This one seems to have grown to full size, don’t let the paw size fool you. They take birds and animals of rabbit size or a little bigger in the wild, but anything human-sized is generally too big. Timid critters unless cornered.

Wow. Big cat.
Appears to be about the size of my black Maine Coon, 28 pounds.
This morning, my wife told me the cat was filthy and we needed to give him a bath.
I’m nursing at least a half dozen wounds from the bathing ordeal.
