A tame little wild cat
This new breed was created in the 1980s in the United States by crossing the small bobcat and Canadian lynx with domestic cats. “The ideal in breeding is a cat as similar as possible either to the bobcat or to the Canadian lynx or jungle cat (Felis chaus), with the gentle, trushing nature of a domestic cat” ( ). The Domestic Lynx is still very rare.

Characteristics
This cat is gentle and sociable. It gets along well with dogs but is rather dominant toward other cats. The affectionate Domestic Lynx makes a good pet.
