I thought Lynx had the pointy ears with the tufts of hair but not sure.Here is the canadian Lynx,see the hair on the ears.
It looks like the one in the pictures.
Lynx have short tails and characteristic tufts of black hair on the tip of their ears. They have a ruff under the neck, which has black bars (not very visible), resembling a bow tie. They have large paws padded for walking on snow and long whiskers on the face. The body color varies from medium brown to gold-ish to beige-white; and occasionally, is marked with dark brown spots, especially on the limbs. All species of lynx also have white fur on their chests, bellies and on the insides of their legs which are extensions of the chest and belly fur. Also, the lynx's coloring, fur height and paw size varies by its climate range- in the Southwest US, the fur and color are short-haired, dark and the paws are smaller and less padded, as the lynx ranges to its colder Northern climes, the fur gets progressively thicker (for warmth), the color gets lighter (for camouflage) and its paws enlarge and become more padded for snowy environments.

Lynx
Both are lynx.
Botcat = lynx rufus
Lynx = lynx canadensis
That inkspot tail is a telltale sign of lynx canadensis. But do I detect some
white on the underside? that's a Bobcat trait I believe.
I once had the experience of meeting three lynx in the wild. I was hunting
just South of thunder Bay when out of the woods came a big cat 15 yards from me. It sat down on its haunches and just watched me. A few seconds later a second cat came out and sat down likewise. Finally, a third emerged, and joined the other two in a row, just curiously observing me.
Since they are animals reserved here for trappers only I simply watched
the scene of what was most probably three yearling lynx that
had just been separated from their mother for good. Since I had no
camera I just had to file the scene away in my memorable hunting
folder! After that we parted and went our hunting ways.
