Lil' Lynx
Lil Lynx was an orange and white cat first observed at the Cats Who Love to Eat feeder. Lil’ Lynx was named for his uniquely short tail, a characteristic similar to a lynx. Although spotted previously, Lynx’s first documented appearance occurred on April 2nd, 2024.
Lil’ Lynx unfortunately passed due to mistreatment and malicious food tampering.
Behavior
Lynx tended to make its rounds under the cover of darkness and was most often seen between the times of 8:30 pm and 10:00 pm. While eating, Lynx closed its eyes, stepped partway into the feeder, and rotated and flattened its ears. Lynx took frequent breaks from eating to walk around the box, sniff the corners, peek its head out to look around, and even paw at the back camera. Lynx exhibited somewhat skittish behavior and was constantly aware of its surroundings.
Appearance
Lil Lynx appeared to be an orange tabby. The top half of its body was mostly light orange, except for a large white spot in the middle of its back near the tail. The cat’s underside, paws, front of face (except for its muzzle), sides of head up to the ears, and partly up the back legs were white. Overall, it appeared to be well-groomed and had an exceptionally smooth coat. By far the most identifiable feature of Lynx was its tail. Lynx’s tail was unusually short and appeared to be less than 10 cm long with a single kink. Its bobtail shape is a known genetic mutation among several breeds of cats.
