Highland Lynx kitten, or Highlander Shorthair ❤️
The Highland Lynx is not part lynx, or a wild cat. They are a recent crossbreed of two domestic cats: the Desert Lynx, and the Jungle Curl, also a new breed.

Origins of the Bay Clans: Arrival (Part 1)
When cats arrived—former housecats, ship mousers, strays seeking refuge and adventure—they knew nothing of their destination. They slipped silently aboard human vessels, their hearts drawn by curiosity, bravery, impulsivity, content to let the direction of their lives be led by wind and sea. Stone sought to leave a life behind.
After many moons on stormy seas, feeding off scraps and scuttling ship rats, the feline sailors began to question if they’d ever see land again. Just as the doubt grew unbearable, the cats found their wave-tossed vessels surrounded by snow-peaked mountains, a fortress encircling the bay. Their new home.
In a strange, harsh place, a land of extremes. Bountiful summers where fish broke the riverbanks under an unsetting sun, and dark, silent winters where death hung in the air like a heavy fog.
Beasts ruled the land, creatures so massive they towered toward the sky like the mountains that surrounded them.
These cats looked upon gods,
And saw themselves reflected back.
When Stone saw The Lynx, silhouetted against a sky lit with cosmic flame, she knew that these creatures held more power then they could imagine. Cats were naught but ants under giant paws, subjected to the whims of these unearthly beings, time and space dangling from their clawtips. They were to be respected, feared, and revered.
Stone gazed around her small, ramshackle crew, their eyes stretched wide with frigid fear. They could not return to their former lives, but trembled at the thought of a future here, amongst the vastness and cruelty of the wilderness.
“We will survive here. We will not fall to these beasts or to the nature they command.
We will follow these gods, and carve out a space to live beside them, learning their skills and deferring to their judgement. We will craft a community for ourselves to stand within, protected yet interwoven with the world which wishes to harm us.”
Her eyes bore into her comrades, blazing with determination. Her voice carried through the den, spoken with utter clarity, certainty.
“We must live, for what other choice is there?”
And a community they became. A family, a Clan, named by wildcats who hailed from distant highlands, a green, rocky place that seemed like a lifetime ago. Led by the intrepid Stone, the community stuck close to the human harbor and settlements, clinging to any sense of the familiar.
But something was stirring within Stone, an intuition that drew her deeper and deeper past the treeline, the memory of the Lynx still clear in her mind.
Until one day, pressed into mud fresh from the day’s rainfall, she found a set of tracks.
And set out to follow them.

I'll be honest, I think Tumblr looks prettier than Twitter, and there's no character limit.
This is way better. 💜
Anyways, here's my baby boy, Gadget, he is an 8 month old Highland Lynx cat with no tail. Being polydactyl, his favorite thing is getting all his claws caught on dad's socks, as you can see in my profile picture.
More on him and the rest of his family to come!

dteam government assigned fursonas. what are they also YOPPEEE another furry dteam stan :3
Dream is either a golden retriever or a Brown/blondish Poodle ( could also be a bear bc he's so cuddly )
Sapnap could either be a Highland Cow or a Red Panda ( a Chinchilla would be cute too and works quite well for sap, hehe )
And George A Lynx or Penguin ( possibly a otter )
I can think of so many animals they could all be that fit them, but I know people tend to go for Dream as a dog Sapnap a panda and George cat

I got the cats' DNA results back! Interesting stuff! I'm not as familiar with cat breeds as I am with dog breeds...
I thought Toasty would be more Siamese, and didn't expect these big long-haired breeds, or the Scottish Fold, but these things happen!
Didn't expect Graham's bits either. I had never heard of the Highlander, so I had to look it up. It's a new breed, bred from the desert lynx and the jungle curl (two other newer, rarer breeds). Graham doesn't have the curled ears they generally have, but he's got the large build, bob tail, tabby pattern, and friendly dog-like personality.
...Out of interest, the desert lynx has no wild cats in its background (other than rumors of possible bobcat way back), but the jungle curl is a cross between the American curl and the African jungle cat.
In the end they are both mostly American domestic cats and it's not that important either way, but it's so cool to find this kind of thing out. I'll keep calling them a Siamese and a bobtail in casual conversation.

Favorite breed of cat
In order-
Turkish Van:
Aesthetically I just love their pattern placement, lol- base color + white is always pretty.
Norwegian Forest Cat:
This cat looks like it would give me a quest in D&D. They’re incredibly majestic.
Highlander:
Look at those ears! Look at that tail (or, lack thereof)! A very cute breed, they remind me of lynxes- and as far as I’m aware, they don’t have any breed-specific health problems!
