Lynx Loose in Atlanta

OMG. The lynx is my all-time favorite wild animals. Years ago I used to even
write scathing e-mails to people trying to sell lynx coats on e-bay. It's a
miracle I didn't get myself banned...
I hope it can be relocated safely.

There's a place here called Wildlife on Wheels. They get illegal wildlife pets
from Fish and Game and use them to help educate kids and adults. I went to
visit them and they let me play with the lynx! He was rubbing up on me just
like a little kitty...then he sprayed on my jeans. The woman said they do that
when they like you. He was sooo friendly I just wanted to take him home with
me.

There is a Canadian Lynx roaming an Atlanta neighborhood.

Wow, he/she's beautiful! But it's a little scary, the way the cat seemed
to be interested in children. Maybe it's hungry, and it sees small humans
as potential prey? It did lunge after that toddler - that must have been
terrifying for the parents (the kid probably didn't know what happened).

I sure hope it's caught and taken to an appropriate area. Though it might
be too tame for the wild.

In that pic of the cat walking, he/she looks like he/she is creeping
low to the gound like Stinky does when he is scared or unhappy. My
mom calls it his "creepin' Jesus" walk.

LOL!!! I had a cat who used to do that all the time. Except she would
*run* in that position - it looked so weird!

Just like a boy... they have such weird ways of showing they like you.
