The Flist Knows All

Is there a domestic housecat that looks like a lynx, but doesn't have the tufts on its ears? One just walked through our backyard, and my googlefu has failed, but it was a cool looking thing.

An ocelot?

I think that Jo figured it out on my LJ: Pixie Bob

Adorable!

Possibly a maincoon mix. Mine has v. linx like characteristics.

We thought about that too, but the markings and the chin looked more lynx-like than I'd expect from that breed. And Jo (below) pointed me toward a breed where some of the images look exactly like what I remember seeing, so I think it might be a pixie-bob.

Wow! I think you've hit it. Some of the pictures for the pixie-bob look exactly like what I remember seeing. Hopefully it will come back in daylight so I can tell for certain.

Someone call Harry, Mister has wandered off...

Lol! Dresden really should take better care of his cat.

Well, you never know. Maybe Bob's hitching a lift again, though why he's in a suburban backyard and not a sorority house I have no idea ;-)
