Bobcats and Lynxes bond very
strongly to domestic cats
and dogs.
Q: How
can you tell the difference between Bobcats and Lynx?
A: Well, the Lynx is long and lanky with large
"snowshoe" paws. He has very light spots - hardly
noticeable. He lives at high altitudes and is rarely
seen by man. The Bobcat, on the other hand, is more
recognizable as a cat. Ears are tufted, like the lynx,
but he's quite spotted on the back and belly. He ranges
in color from honey orange to smoky blue and his belly
is white. This really makes the spots stand out. Both
Bobcat and Lynx have beards and in temperament both are
pretty laid back and quite loving when raised with
humans.
Q: Are Bobcats and Lynx legal where I live? Do I need
a permit?
A: The laws vary from state to state regarding exotic
animals. You should contact your state's authorities and
request any written rules and regulations governing
ownership of exotic pets. Often these rules are vague or
even non-existent. You should also try to contact others
in your state who own exotics and ask for any
information they might have to help you.
A: Our cats are raised around domestic cats and dogs and
get along great. It sometimes takes a period of
adjustment. Most of the time the established pet is a
little resentful but these guys are pretty persistent
and love being around other animals.
Q: What should I do if I want to reserve a kitten?
A: Please let us know early if you want to be on the
waiting list and we can reserve one for you with a
deposit ($200) otherwise its first come first served.
Q: What and how much do these cats eat?
A: They eat a fresh meat diet (poultry can be
substituted on occasion) mixed with calcium and
adjustable to the tastes of your pet. We include a copy
of our diet with your pet. There are canned 'exotic'
catfoods and you can use these but you must add extra
calcium and fat to meet the needs of these cats. Adult
cats eat approximately a pound of meat per day.
