I have been waiting to find out for sure if Lynx's other family would return to claim him before I started to think of him as my cat. But they have been gone for at least two weeks now and have not returned for any of the cats that they left behind.
I am now looking for a way to get Lynx neutered and vaccinated. Problem is that I literally have no money to afford this thanks to my bank ripping me off for over $130 last month. So I will be spending the next few days in search of agencies that can help me with this.
Another problem is that Lynx has become increasingly unpredictable. One minute he will be so sweet and cuddly, the next minute he will swipe at a person then run off. One minute he and Shiva will be getting along and the next minute he will be stalking her, looking for a fight. Poor Shiva is afraid to go outside with him out there. But she does her share of starting the fights too - it's just that he is much stronger that she is, and she does not stand a chance when he decides to attack her. I am hoping he will settle down once he is neutered. Otherwise, Anthony and I will have to be very vigilant to protect Shiva and to keep him from attacking us.
Either way, he is now my big baby boy, and I am happy to have him.
