Yes and no. 'Lynx' is a genus of cat. There are four species in this genus. From largest to smallest.

The bobcat is a separate species from the Canadian lynx. They share the same genus/family of cats, but they are not the same species.

Info on a highland lynx cat?

According to windsweptcats.com: "Highland Lynx cats were developed by crossing two existing breeds--Desert Lynx cats and Jungle Curls. The primary foundation breed for Highland Lynx is the Desert Lynx. Outcrosses to the Jungle Curls were made specifically to add the unique curled ears to the cats. Essentially, Highland Lynx are Desert Lynx with curled ears. They are strong, muscular cats which are medium in length with longer hind legs, and toes may be tufted. They are very alert, intelligent cats. Males are larger than females and slower to mature. These cats come in both long and short hair."
