*These cats form strong bonds with their families and should be considered as a life-long commitment! Change of ownership later in life is stressful for any animal! To their family they are abundantly loving and affectionate and often listen for the sound of your vehicle or voice and meet you at the door. Some Highland Lynx are cautious at first, but usually friendly even to people they do not know (this quality has to do with both genetics as well as socialization in the breeders home). Our Highland Lynx, both cats and kittens learn to go in and out at will within a week and with no training from us as all. It took serious effort to get them to use the cat door. Our rescue cats don’t care for the pet door and will wait for us to open the big door for them. To share an example – we installed a cat door that leads out to a screened in deck. I have seen repeated evidence of how trainable they tend to be, whereas with some cats I have owned it was much more difficult to make behavior changes, especially once they were adults. Highland Lynx cats are among the most intelligent of the feline breeds.
The goal was to produce a domestic cat with the look of a big cat and to seek competition/show status in registries such as TICA (The International Cat Association). The Highlander is also of domestic origins, mainly breeds such as the Desert Lynx and Highland Lynx. The Highlander Cat was originally the same cat as the Highland Lynx, but is now a separate breed. The Jungle Curl cats are a hybrid mix of domestic curled ear cats (such as the Hemingway Curl or possibly the American Curl) with the African Jungle cat (Found in Egypt, Asia, India, etc). Desert Lynx cats are believed by some to have originally have been hybrids of domestic cat breeds (such as Maine Coon or American Bobtail) and a wild bobcat, (though according to science this does not appear to be possible). In 1995 the first Highland Lynx kittens were born at Timberline Cattery in N.C., a result of a cross between Desert Lynx cats and Jungle Curl Cats. To define and explain their differences I would begin with their history and origin. Here is some Highland Lynx information that may help to answer those sorts of questions. Many folks have questions about the difference between a Highland Lynx cat, the Highlander and an ordinary domestic cat.
