I believe that statement to be very untrue, in particular if the lynx was rabid or if some city mongrel dawg started bugging it, and especially so if it was hungry and your prize kitty walked by, maybe even if he wasn't hungry, just cuz he probably don't like little kitties, like the way that bobcats don't.
Whatever.

Mr Beskowhiney seems to make several strange statements .......
As for why the wildcat was in the city, peace officer Shawn Beskowiney said it was possibly a hitchhiking kitty.
“[It’s] very possible it could’ve caught a ride in one of the transport services at the yard where it’s at… just like a house cat climbing up under the ol’ truck at the farm. That’s possibly what happened.”
Although lynx sightings are rare because they’re so shy, Beskowiney said it’s not unusual to see wildlife in and around Edmonton because it’s the largest urban park in North America.

Yeah - OK - it hitched a ride on a transport truck ?!?
What a far fetched completely speculative statement.
Maybe it just wandered down the river valley into town - which is more plausible?
What a dumb thing to say. Probably stroked his ego getting interviewed as an "expert" and just kept on chirping trying to sound all popped collar, wink n' gun smart.
LOL - I laughed when I read this.
Lynx Caught in Edmonton!
