Do lynxes make good pets?

It depends on the kind of person you are. You have to be friendly to them & quiet patient. I have a Canadian Lynx of my own and I can tell you from experience that they are not like Domestic Cats, BUT that does not mean that they won't make good pets. For a wild animal, Mine makes a very good companion. I feed him a can of "Zupreem feline Diet" every day (food for exotic cats), and sometimes other treats like chicken or wet cat food. So food is about $50 a month. All animals have different personalities, Some are nice & some can be just plain mean, so you must know what you're getting yourself into before you get one, Just in case it's a grumpy one. When they do act up or bite, DO NOT HIT OR YELL AT THEM!!! it's abusive for one, but it also signals them to attack. Instead, squirt them with a water bottle with a little bit of vinegar added. Mine is very friendly toward me and my mom, dad, brother, sister, and girlfriend...But will go nowhere near anyone else. When he's around someone else, he either gets stressed out and tries to run, or he growls and tries to attack, So because of that, I only keep him around the people he likes of course. Another thing is pets. If you intend to have one with dogs or cats or whatever, make sure you have it around those animals when it's a kitten, if you don't it'll grow up and look at a cat as lunch, as well as a small dog, and they will attack larger dogs and hurt or kill them or get themselves hurt or killed. I only raised mine with 2 dogs (Jack russell, Chihuahua) and 1 cat, and guess what? he loves them and plays with them!!! But he DESPISES all other cats and dogs, therefore as I mentioned, he tries to hurt them when he see's them. When he see's an unfamiliar cat or small dog, He'll try to kill them (luckily he can't because he's in a huge lot that the cat can't get into) and when he see's a larger dog, His Pupils will get large, his hair stands up, He arches his back up, pins his ears back, shows off his teach and starts growling, and if the dog gets any closer, it's at risk of being attacked/killed or the lynx being attack/killed (One again I'm glad he's in a nice secure enclosure) Now that that's covered....KITTENS!!!! As kittens they are very HYPER & DESTRUCTIVE!!! They will CONSTANTLY run at full speed, knock things over, play bite (which still hurts), and the biggest problem I had...Tearing & Chewing things to shreds!!! They need toys and entertainment in order for a lot of this to be prevented, but even that won't help all of it, so you need to be prepared for some damage if it is to be indoors. Mine ripped & tore Pillows, Blankets, stuffed animals, to shreds! and chewed most of the computer wires into pieces!! So you need to watch what they chew, so you don't have to replace any expensive items or have the risk of you're kitten getting hurt or killed. This kind of playfulness and hyperness usually lasts for 6-10 months. CAGING: When outdoors, you of course need an enclosure so they don't run off. If you don't want it to stay outside, then you must leash train you're Lynx as a young 6-12 week kitten so you can at least give it some walks outside a few times a week. If you wait to long to harness train, it may not work, since most of them won't let you put anything on them past a certain age. If outside make sure it's a big enclosure. If it is pretty small, then you will need to take him/her out everyday for a nice long walk. Do not keep you're lynx outside if it gets hot in you're area!!! Personally I'd say the highest temperature you're cat needs to be in is 75-80 degrees, and even then with a lot of water and shade. LASTLY!!! PERMITS!!! Make sure before you get one, it is legal in you're area! if it is not, Don't get one or you risk the animal being put down and yourself being in deep doodoo. Most states require you have a permit to keep one. though their are states such as North Carolina and South Carolina that don't require any kind of permit to keep them. Once you have that, and $1400-1800 to buy a kitten (around $3000 for a Siberian), Have the time to be with one, and know you're "Lynx Smarts" go on ahead and get yourself a new companion that will most likely HOPEFULLY fill you're life with joy and entertainment. If you're not sure about one as pet, you may want to look more into it or consider getting another exotic cat such as the "Serval/Domestic Cat" Hybrids or another kind of pet that will be suited for you're taste! Hope the info helped! :)
