Kat - Thank you for asking if the "wild cat" is a lynx.
We thought it was a bobcat and after your question I some time spent on Google. I now know more about the difference between a bobcat and a lynx than I ever needed to know.
It is a bobcat, which is a member of the same family as a lynx. In fact, a bobcat is a lynx rufus.
A lynx has larger feet for walking in the snow and the black on a lynx's tail goes all the way around the tail.
Nearly everyone dreams of moving to the country at some point, but few people are crazy enough to actually do it. I'm one of those few.
The short version:
I'm a former cultured California chick happily turned manure mucking Missouri farmgirl. In 1994 I moved sight unseen to the middle of nowhere and have almost never looked back.

Gorgeous, but I bet he wouldn't take kindly to being hugged. One of these weekends, I'm going to have to remember to get my baby into this WCB.
What a pretty wild kitty. I guess this one you can't bring home to keep rite?

That's the Animal Kingdom lesson for the day!
