Lynk was adopted around Thanksgiving 2011 from a local pet shelter that brought cats to PetCo for adoption. Jonathan fell in love with him and begged Angelique for permission to bring him home. Angelique gave in and so after shots and neutering Lynk was added to the McCormick family. He stayed in Jonathan's office for a month to get used to the new environment and so Kittasha could potentially get used to him. It didn't work for long, Lynk had to get out of the room and began to escape whenever possible. Jonathan and Angelique attempted to put up a couple baby gates on top of each other to allow Lynk and Kittasha viewing area without contact to further integration. Lynk proved to be quite agile and climbed straight up the gates. Eventually Jonathan decided a solid door would have to separate the two cats into different parts of the house. Kittasha's things were all moved upstairs the the bathroom and sewing rooms and Lynk's domain became the main floor and basement levels. Lynk loved playing with the daycare kids during the day but was lonely on weekends and evenings when we would retreat to our upstairs living room to relax. We tried hard to remain downstairs with him but just couldn't give him the social opportunity he craved. So we headed back to the pet store and got Lynk a kitten: Lightning.

It's nice looking at what I wrote here. We lost Lynk in 2020 when all his health issues got worse. We had built a full yard for him and the other cats in Oct 2019 and Lynk was great at escaping it no matter the measures we took to keep him contained. We buried him outside the fence because we didn't want him trapped in the yard any longer.

In 2014 Jonathan and Angelique built an outdoor enclosure for the cats. It is completely covered in chicken wire to prevent Lynk from escaping. Lynk is particularly fond of a handmade hammock that is tied to the top and swings in the sunniest corner. Lynk also has a fondness for bringing any shrew or bird that wonders into the enclosure inside. Over 20 small animals became play toys for Lynk upon making the mistake of going through the chicken wire.
