Hansel and Gretel My Pet Lynxes

You can be a turtle, a deer, a buffalo, a dog, frog or a sphynx, But you never know true love until you have fallen for a lynx. I have a pair of them, and they adore me upside down and inside out. They give me joy and companionship; they truly make me shout! You may refer to them as bobcats, if you grew up seeing them this way. No difference to Hansel and Gretel, they still hunt down their prey. Their silent padded paws help them hunt with the best of the beast. When they drag in their carnage, we have a wonderful meat feast! They were found by me as babies after hunters got their mother. They are happy with me, and even more happy with each other. A brother and a sister, they like to prowl and hunt at night. I sigh a relief when they come home, knowing they’re all right. They can run fifty miles an hour, faster than most cars on our road. I like watching them skedaddle, when they are in chase mode. They like to curl at my feet and listen to stories, and sigh. And no burglar has ever bothered me. Don’t you wonder why?
