My wife would want one for a pet.
They are impressive, but I sure wouldn’t want our beagle in the yard when they are around. He’d be an appetizer. Bad enough with coyotes.
Yes, you really have to watch out for pets around here too. We have had wolves, an odd cougar, foxes, black bears and of moose and deer in the city from time to time over the years.Quote:

I am impressed by the size of their paws. Real snow boots.
They can be good pets..if... they are raised from tiny. Friends had one and a couple (6) bobcats, and three Thai leopard cats, and one Thai Tree Cat, a Cougar sized love bug. Oh Yeah, one very nervous house cat!Quote:

Also the biggest problem with the big cats is, during puberty, the males want to mark everything! Crystallized salt can be a serious "pong" mess.
I was never scratched during the hours I spent with them.
Imagine a Bobcat Queen bringing you her new litter, eyes not yet open, one by one into your hand for approval. I miss them, even after 35 years.

Yes, more like snowshoes though. It really helps them get around in the snow.Quote:

I remember my Dad telling me when he was a LEO (this was before I was born) that they would often get calls whenever a man would take his panther out for a walk.
Good thing they aren't putting out food for them. That would have been a mistake. I know there are people in the rural areas around Atlanta that put corn out for the deer.
Yea, nothing like having an exotic pet! Just ask Charla Nash.

I have only ever been close up to a lynx once, but what an impressive sight! My sister's (part wolf) dog chased one up a tree. The tree was down a ravine, so when the lynx climbed up, he was more or less at eye level to me, about 15m away. Such a beautiful animal.
As my brother in law said, it'd a good thing the lynx didn't turn to fight: "it would have been like fighting a lawn mower". :)
