I'm a lifelong cat lover, too, and I can see how much you love that magnificent boy. The photos raise many questions. But PLEASE, Miss Bernie, post the realities of keeping an animal like this, so as to discourage those who just think it'd be cool to have an exotic pet! Tell us about the DAILY COMMITMENT of time, of money, of trying to constantly enrich his enclosure/habitat, the actual costs of food, vet care, enclosure, required licensing & training if any, liability insurance, the years of devoted care & commitment it takes. Please tell people the horribly abusive, cruel truth about de-clawing a cat, in case they plan to do that, to protect themselves & others from injury & liability. 🥺 Best of luck and health to you, and to Max. ❤ Thank you.

@Suraya - Agree which is why I wrote a book on Max which includes the behaviors and cost. His website explains a lot too as do other videos. I answer all questions and discourage having a lynx as a pet and always stress that he is not declawed. Thankfully, most states and countries prohibit owning one. Thank you! 😻

@@wildlifebernie Yeah I don't now how the Russian lady does it with LUNA the Blac Panther...with her friend a Rottweiler of the same age whose given name escapes me because it's Russian. Presumably she's very rich indeed and Luna is a glorious and well-adjusted big pussycat who IS a big pussycat! She's about a year and a half so still a itten really! Please loo her up she is a pure delight to behold! A very very dar brown leopard and still has spots of course but the camera can scarcely see them even in daylight. Pity! Luna the Pantera ! X)))

Yes the bigger the pussycat the bigger the commitment and the bigger the everything...lie Max himself; I thin these fellows traded half their tails for ear-tufts extra floofiness a purr that maes the glassware fall from the shelves ...basically just MORE pussycat! Except for the tail! You'd have thought it would be so helpful for balance that they'd still have a lovely big tail as a clouded leopard does living in a similar environment... Selection pressures can be weird; just loo at the peacoc- grr! Don't ever buy a Hewlett-Pacard please. Garbage and made shitty/cheaply/pissta-ingly badly made. Please give Max a nose-nudge for me. I'm deprived! :(

I am definitely a cat person. I live alone with my brown Burmese female cat who is now 2 yrs old. My ex-wife bought her for me to replace my last cat (also a female brown Burmese) after I had to put her down. She was 18yrs old and got lymphoma. I do not allow my cats outside at all because of the damage they do to native wildlife and I don't believe any pet cat should be allowed outside for this reason. Burmese are the most loving affectionate cats you can have. They are intelligent and can be trained if you take the time. Lucy will sit, lie down, stay, fetch and give me a kiss (more like a head-butt). She can also open and close the interior doors in my unit and when she gets the shits with me she will slide open the wardrobe doors, climb inside, pull my clothes down for a bed and close the door behind her. My ex-wife didn't believe me when I told her she could do these things until she went to the bathroom and closed the door. Lucy let herself in and sat on her lap.

To be honest, all felines -"cats"-, including domestic cats, tigers, pumas, bobcats, leopards, panthers, ocelots, lynxes, ... are extremely independent, meticulously clean, independent, egotistical but "cuddly" when they want to be pampered. And the vast majority of them learns -within one or two days- where their litter box is and chances are they will almost never fail, except if you don't keep it clean. You cannot do that with a dog!

Honestly the combination of the beautiful music and the magnificent lynx makes me fight back the tears. I’ve always loved North American/Canadian wildcats. He is perfect. My idea of heaven is having creatures like this to live among.

I have always been raised alongside cats, and Max is the most handsomest creature I have ever seen, he truly is Majestic!, but SO sweet and lovely. We must learn more about our animal neighbors and realize that WE are in THEIR habitat and THEY allow us to share with them. Happy 6th birthday handsome, handsome boy!!
