I saw you at CF ^^ love the suit, glad to see another suit was making her debut at CF (I was debuting my Tapir partial)

Ah yes I saw you around too Nice suit

where did you get the plushie

At the Highland Wildlife Park in Scotland. They are home to some Carpathian lynx so the shop was full of goodies, they also sold a baby version of the same type with closed eyes, very cute

You wouldn't happen to know if they do mail-order? Lynx plushies seem to be as scarce as hens' teeth.

(And from one middle-aged lynx to another -- you're cute. )

I don't think they do no sadly. It's just the giftshop at the side of the zoo.
And I know, I never pass one up if I see one, got a good collection thanks to that place though.

And thank you very much <3

Typical. (Folkmanis does a bobcat puppet, and I managed to find -- of all species -- a caracal plush several years ago.)

El Tigre's ( http://www.furaffinity.net/view/5852156 ) former mom is a Scot, and I know she's back in the UK. That's why she had to give him up; he's diabetic, and the necessary quarantine wouldn't have allowed for his diet, testing and insulin. Perhaps she'd be willing to make a little visit for me...

I have seen that folkmanis puppet online, not got one though.
And poor kitty with the diabetes, how is treatment for that done ?

Treatment is very similar to human diabetics: a switch to low-carbohydrate food is the first step. His glucose gets tested twice a day -- we lance his ear and use a human glucometer -- then an insulin injection. It becomes as much a habit as brushing one's teeth. Tigre doesn't mind much at all; doesn't even flinch ninety-five percent of the time. Happy and healthy otherwise.

He is our second diabetic, actually: Emperor Norton ( http://www.furaffinity.net/view/5583386/ ) was our first, and then later on we adopted Rusty ( http://www.furaffinity.net/view/5858995/ ). Rusty's diabetes was very well controlled, but our other kids weren't happy and we had to find him a new home. Diabetics present some challenges, true, but they more than repay the effort. Most people aren't willing to put that effort in -- diabetics are extremely difficult to place -- and that's a terrible, terrible thing.

Well I am glad for their sake that you are willing to put in that effort.
