Many people are accustomed to thinking that domestic lynxes are a special breed of cats (Maine Coon and Kuril Bobtail) that looks very similar to this animal. But in fact, they have nothing to do with cats. You can also mistakenly confuse a domestic lynx with an ordinary wild lynx, which is forcibly taken from the wild and brought home, or simply bred in captivity. In reality, domestic lynx is an artificially bred breed. It was created by crossing a cat of a certain, suitable color with a Canadian lynx, which is quite small in size, unlike the rest of its relatives. Due to its small size, this particular breed was chosen. The domestic lynx cat got the character, and the appearance, respectively, from the lynx. While this breed is extremely rare, and not everyone can afford such a luxury.
What do these charming animals look like?
Cats (domestic lynxes that is) are very similar to the real Canadian lynx. This is their main feature. In other words, itβs just a big cat with a short tail, pronounced muscles, long legs. And, of course, domestic lynxes have familiar brushes on the end of their ears. This is probably the main element that makes a lynx trot. This breed has a dense short coat with various shades of brown color. In general, if you have never met domestic lynxes, a photo of an ordinary Canadian lynx is perfect. This is almost an exact copy.
Lynx at home
Unlike wild animals, which are kept at home in special cages, domestic lynxes were created in order to live next to humans without any special restrictions. But, nevertheless, for the animal should be allocated its own territory, in which it will feel like a master. Also, ideally, this cat needs a tree, because genetically strong muscle is laid in it, which must develop. If it is not possible to equip a tree, then it is necessary to adapt at least some suitable objects on which you can jump and climb. In food, domestic lynxes are unpretentious. They can be fed the same thing as an ordinary cat, but only coarse components must be present so that the jaws also develop correctly. And of course, natural food. Without it, the animal will not be healthy.
Dry food is not a good idea in this case, if your pet's well-being is important to you. It is also necessary to periodically care for the hair of the animal, comb it out so that the unusual pet, when licking, does not swallow the hair. For prevention, it is better to sometimes give special medications to cleanse the intestines from wool. With proper care, care and love with a domestic trot, you can establish a warm relationship. But you should never forget that the wild instincts of this animal are still hiding somewhere at the genetic level and can wake up at any time under the influence of certain factors. Therefore, before you start such a pet, you need to think it over again, weighing all the pros and cons. This is especially true for families with children.
