This is Lynxie's web page. It has existed at this URL since shortly after I adopted him way back in 2002. It used to be just a photo gallery, but I've also posted some updates on how he's doing. Lynxie passed away on January 24, 2023. More photos of him and Annie are in this iCloud photo album.

UPDATE 01/24/2023:

After a long battle with kidney failure, Lynxie passed away today. He was two months short of turning 21 years old. A piece of my heart for two decades, gone. I will miss you, sweet fuzzy face.

I posted an album of Lynxie's best photos here.

UPDATE 11/22/2022:

Lynxie is still doing okay. He's lost more weight but he's happy and still adorable. :)

UPDATE 03/08/2022:

Lynxie has been doing better and turns 20 today. Happy 20th birthday Lynxie! I hope he has many more.

Important Notice 01/31/2022:

Lynxie is almost 20 years old; he turns 20 in March. Sadly his health hasn’t been the greatest lately. Lynxie is hyperthyroid, and has stage 2 chronic kidney disease (CKD). Unfortunately the thyroid medication just makes his kidney problem worse, so I can’t even medicate him at the full dose required to completely control the hyperthyroid condition.

In summary, he’s not doing too well and I’m not sure how much time he has left. I decided to post this note on this page since this has always been his “home page” so to speak his entire life. I’m not sure if anyone still looks here, but if you do, now you know. I will update this page again if anything changes.

The best way to see recent photos of Lynxie (and Annie) is the iCloud photo album here. You can see how much weight he has lost in the past few months.

If you have comments, or if you remember seeing this webpage back when Lynxie was a kitten before social media was a thing, feel free to E-mail zorin AT zorin.org to say hi. I'd love to hear from some of Lynxie's early "fans".

Notice 03/19/2017:

There's more Lynxie and pictures of my younger cat Annie here on Flickr. This page is even more obsolete than it was before, and is considered archived now. My photos are everywhere and who knows where is what, but I assure you there's enough pictures of both cats on my Flickr. ;)

Notice 12/21/2008:

This page is not updated too often lately. Now and then I will go through my photos of Lynxie and add some of my recent favorites to it. There are more photos here, both of Lynxie and other cats I know, including photos of Lynxie that may not end up here. Enjoy!

Welcome to the NEW Lynxie picture archive! Now you can look at Lynxie without dealing with a gargantuan page with billions of thumbnails on it. (You can still view the old page if you want, but it will be out of date.) You can also view Lynxie's Diary, which has a few stories from Lynxie's early days. It is no longer updated.

The pictures in the album are in reverse-chonological order. This new perl script has the capacity to add captions for images. I plan to do this for select images that I feel are special. If anyone has caption suggestions for any images, email me the caption and the image filename (just mouse over the image and the filename will be the last thing on the line) and I'll consider it!

Lynxie is a grey and white domestic shorthair kitten that I found on 4/18/2002. His mother had been hit by a car so I just had to take him in. He's growing up to be quite a lovely cat.

Note: These images are freely distributable and can be considered public domain. However, if you do use them in any publication, I would greatly appreciate a copy of the publication. It's not much to ask for someone nice enough to give his photography away, no?

Here are some facts about Lynxie.

Yes, there are a LOT of pictures. He's only a kitten once. }:)
