Hi! Max!! You are an Angel!! What a beautiful precious baby boy you are!! Sending you tons of hugs love & kisses!! 🥰❤❤❤❤😘❤❤❤

I gotta say, this is a prime example of why to not take the big cats light. Even the most mild ones.... sometimes have a bad day. You, of course, already know this. This is for those that don't : )

My Snow I love my snow! your standing on my Snow!

Growls and hisses along with looking at you like you are a stranger. The only way to know for sure if he is ailing in any way, is to have him checked out. Everyone who looks at these videos knows the amazing pet parent you have been to Max and to the other wonderful creatures you take care of. Max always looks amazing in all his photos. Love the shots you take of him. Hope all will be well Bernie.

Wow, you just never know with an animal like Max. I would have been scared too, those were some serious growles! Maybe he is sick?

HI Bernie and Max. I hope your little angel doesn't have a wee demon of an ailment. I've never heard Max growl before. It's kind of scary. Has he done this like this before? Maybe a checkup is in order. But he's your baby and definitely know him best. Even after seeing this side of him, he's still an angel to me. You both take care.💕

Opino lo mismo. Algo le Está generando ése estado. ...he oído (no lo corroboré de buena fuente) que los grandes felinos criados en cautividad y humanización, igualmente llega un momento en el que cambian su inocencia por un carácter más salvaje. Pero de hecho, como dije antes, simplemente lo escuché de una persona que tiene una pantera, y que dijo : probablemente ella cambie su carácter y tenemos que estar preparados si eso llega a suceder. Noto también que Max tiene una mirada agresiva, ya no la dulce que tenía años atrás. No se si se deba a un proceso de "maduración" de las especies. Saludos!

@@wildlifebernie I think Friedrich has a good point. I wasn't sure when mating season was for Canada Lynx, but I was aware that bobcats mate in March and bobcats are indeed members of the Lynx family. Here in MA, we get news reports every year of people seeing bobs in their yards, when normally, these cats are very elusive. And, as you have observed many times, Max always seems to be more frisky and unpredictable in March. You can take away the "family jewels", but I am not sure that completely removes the instincts and urges that are wired into his DNA. I think you've mentioned before that you caught him humping a soccer ball, so there's some evidence that his brain still knows he's a boy. That said, I can't say we've ever seen him act quite like this toward you. Food aggression, yes, and once in a while a quick growl when you try to take something away from him, but he seemed pretty grumpy here. Probably something to watch. If it is stress due to mating season, hopefully it will pass soon.

Max rocks.. cutest boi around💙

He was thrilled with fresh straw in the covered enclosure and spent much time snoozing in his doghouse inside. It's his typical March behavior.

Maybe he's not feeling well, or just needs more attention. Really it could be anything. We all get grumpy from time to time. 🤔

Not demonic, just a really big kitten. Absolutely adorable!

I think if she reached in there, he might grab her, but I think that when he feigns lunging, that's just bluster. Even a cat of Max's size seems to know that he's no match for a human. If a Lynx were to attack someone, they would do some damage for sure, but in a knock-down, drag-out fight, they know they will lose. Cat's are pretty smart critters.

However, when I returned carrying a broom to defend myself, and fetch the stool, he ran. I need to be mindful about what I wear or carry into HIS enclosure because if he becomes possessive of it, things will not go well for either of us.

Well, Max will always be an angel so that his Alpha Mom Bernie won't have to behave like a demon. Right?! I recall sometime ago when you were feeding him raw chicken inside and he growled & acted hostile as if daring you to try to take his chicken. Maybe you had chicken for lunch and brought Max no 'doggie bag'? Perhaps he has gas- that'll make anyone grumpy. Or maybe he's pissed remembering how you once let that cute little 'demon' female Lynx (Kayla?) stay with you all a while. At 4:22 it almost looks like he's dreaming of when he was a baby feeding from a bottle. At any rate- Max be a good kitty; you have a great mom. Love You, Linda 😘
