Kane County Animal Control Pet of the Week - Lynja

​

“A happy arrangement: many people prefer cats to other people, and many cats prefer people to other cats." – Mason Cooley, American aphorist (author of concise statements) & professor of philosophy

He acts so laid back, so chill, for a cat that's only one-and-a-half-years old. Not much disturbs or perturbs him, almost as though he accepted a long time ago that life might not be all treats and making biscuits on fluffy blankets.

His name is Lynja and he's a brown and white tabby, a Domestic Shorthair that gazes at everyone with an off-kilter stare. That's because one eye is a little more squinty, a little less open than the other one, probably due to being a stray, living on the streets for a while during part of the winter.      

Outdoor cats don't fair well on the tough streets of “out there." They tend to not live as long, but Lynja got lucky. Someone found him and brought him to KCAC's shelter, maybe knowing he wasn't an outdoor cat at heart, and he hasn't proved them wrong.

He likes people, that's all there is to it. He enjoys human contact and if he feels comfortable, he will sleep his day away. He doesn't mind a cuddle or two, but he's not the kind to just sit in someone's lap. If he can sit within petting distance and not actually make that full stop commitment, then all is right with the world.

Lynja is not into dogs. In fact, he doesn't really get the whole dog thing at all. They seem rather superfluous to society in his opinion. Why would you want a dog when you can have a nimble, intelligent feline living with you? Now, another cat might be a better choice!

Lynja will make a wonderful addition to a family that enjoys having a smart, gifted and loving feline as an addition to their family.
