It takes a very special kind of cat to be a companion cuddle cat. Peggy Sue the Eurasian Lynx, is just such a cat. Raised with love and compassion from the day she was born, she's grown up to be respectful and considerate of humans and other animals, including her sorely-missed playmate, Streaker the serval.

The Eurasian Lynx, also sometimes known as the Siberian lynx, is the largest of the lynx subspecies and occupies a range that spans much of Northern Europe, Russia, and central Asia. In the wild, the Eurasian lynx feeds on deer and wild hares, but Peggy Sue has developed a more civilized palette: a bit of coffee in the morning, cantaloupe, tuna, and ZuPreem with an algae supplement throughout the day.

Peggy Sue lives with her companion humans inside the house and is an excellent ambassador cat. Her story is a particular example of how humans and cats can not only coexist, but become true companions for the benefit of both species.
