That's cool looking cat, not a "blue' phase but a melanistic phase.

The picture Taximan posted appears to be a "blue" phase.

Many years ago when I used to attend the Seattle Fur Exchange auction, occasionally they would have a Blue lynx or two. They would always be lotted separately, and were always to top sellers.

Over the years these two cats have been my favorites. And I regret not saving them for taxidermy.

Taximan,

That color is a rare form of "puffball".
Very nice.

Taxi, Rick, I know less than probably anyone on this forum about cats but even I can see that those are super cats. Nice pics let you see just how fine furred they are.

Mark, that cat in your picture is a dang fine cat in my book. The black one I saw in January was a much darker cat than the one posted on here. He was at 200 yards and until I put the Nightforce on him I really had no idea it was a cat as his rear end was towards me and he was marking a clump of grass in the middle of a two track. When he finished his marking and turned to my left I knew what it was but just didn't want to shoot him. The local TP&W biologist wants me to go set my DeKalb live catch cat traps and he will run them. Gonna do it for the sake of research. I will probably catch ten others before he gets nabbed. Should be a fun project.
