I'm still not convinced.
my name is lynx,
and wen it snows,
or wen the moon
shines on my toes,
i run all day,
and then nite falls,
leg stuck in air,
i lik my balls.
One of my cats fell asleep in that pose in somebody's lap.
These cats are absolutely lethal. I hike a lot and have a legitimate fear of being stalked by one (happened to a friend, the only reason she saw it was cuz she stopped to tie her boot, she had no idea). The fact they behave like normal cats strikes me as odd cuz you don't realize how scary a big fluffy kitty can actually be
« Why friend shaped? »
I want hug giant furball. But I also want keep face attached to body!
I'll tell you one thing, of all the terrible ways to die, being chased down by a lynx who just finished locking its bunghole with its tongue is the worst. Not only will you be dying, but you'll also smell like lynx ass.
smell like lynx ass
They changed the name to Lynx Africa after some focus group findings
All cats are finely tuned stealth killing machines (though some are lazy). House cats are just optimized for rodent-sized prey, though they are still capable of putting up a decent fight against larger things. Though I'm curious if cats evolved to trigger "cute" recognition or if primates evolved to find things that include cats cute.
I will always argue that all mammals, if not broader categories, have cute recognition. I think it's a fair play mechanism that evolved so that most species will cut other species' young some slack in a brutal world, for the most part - with exceptions. I have no evidence for it, but I've seen enough animal interaction in my life to not feel completely unfounded either.
Murder mittens
Cats will be cats
Imagining a tiger aggressively showing me it's asshole....
Not in the deviant art way.
Pet tiger jumps on bed. 500 pounds of muscle paces in a circle beside you. You pet them on their head as they rotate away from your head scratches as your hand hugs be base of their back and they present their asshole to you.
Cats
I'm not into furry stuff, but I imagine that's basically how a yiff starts.
*Notices you pause grooming*
OwO what's this?
Wtf is a yiff? You know what, never mind.
do you not see yiff everyday? oh wait that might be just my instance.
Big fluffy beans
"Do you mind ?!"
Big paws
