[Arkansas Granny]

8. What a beautiful animal. Those round pupils really look strange on a cat, don't they.

[frogmarch]

I posted the link on Facebook. There are lots of cat lovers in my family and among my Fb friends, and they'll be in awe of this one!

[graywarrior]

[TuxedoKat]

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

18. I didn't know lynxes and racoons count interbreed

which is weird, given all the lynx-on-coon porn I watch.

[graywarrior]

19. Why am I not surprised?

[alarimer]

20. That is a cool cat.

Very unusual.

[Quantess]

21. They look tough.

[Phentex]

22. I thought it would look like a duck...

but WOW! I think I love him.

[WillParkinson]

23. You're right...

I don't think I've ever seen a cat awake.

[bluesbassman]

24. Looks grumpy. Perfect for me!

[graywarrior]

25. I thought I was looking in the mirror

[hlthe2b]

26. looks more like a lynx n/t

[LynneSin]

27. Is that a pixie-bob (domestic minature bobcat)

Someone started breeding small bobcats with a domestic cat and after a couple of generations they created a pixiebob which has the extra face fluff and short tail like a wild bobcat.

[graywarrior]

35. How cute!

[1monster]

28. Here they are at four months...

[graywarrior]

37. Wow, I love them even more now

[SunSeeker]

[Spitfire of ATJ]

31. Weird. The eyes aren't slitted like a cat.

[diane in sf]

32. The kittens are adorable--don't think I want to try petting them tho.

[caseymoz]

33. Trick question. Those aren't cats.

They're gremlins.

[EnviroBat]

34. Wow! At five weeks they already look like they

want to shred someone. Very friendly kittehs!!!

[graywarrior]

36. Born to kill and eat you

[4th law of robotics]

39. Aha! This disproves evolution

Because . . . something . . . something.
