Cattrick Lynxley

Cattrick Lynxley is a Canada lynx and the eldest son of Milton Lynxley. He served as Milton's heir apparent and the family's financial operator. Convicted alongside the rest of the Lynxley family, he escaped during the Season 3 prison breach and his whereabouts remain unknown.

Background

Zootopia 2

At the Zootennial Gala, Cattrick functions as Milton's right hand—managing finances and accounts for the family's criminal enterprise. Along with his sister Kitty, he helps dismiss and marginalize Pawbert. When Gary De'Snake infiltrates the gala, Milton orders Cattrick and Kitty to kill Gary.

After the family's arrest, Cattrick awaits trial alongside Milton and Kitty.

Personality

Cattrick is more complex than he initially appears. While outwardly loyal to Milton's dynasty, he demonstrates unexpected moments of conscience and pragmatism across the series.

Series History

Season 1

S01E21-23 "Counsel" / "Moot" / "The Trial"

Cattrick appears on screen as a defendant during the Lynxley RICO trial. In S01E23 "The Trial", he is convicted on all RICO charges and sentenced to life without parole alongside Milton and Kitty.

Season 2

S02E09 "Blood Relations"

Cattrick's first speaking appearance. Pawbert visits him at maximum security seeking intel on Clawrence Lynxley. Cattrick opens with "You're not the lynx I remember" and initially blames Pawbert for their imprisonment. But both brothers arrive at a shared recognition: everything they did was for Milton, and it was never enough. Cattrick provides the location of an old Lynxley operational site in the outer Meadowlands---"Clawrence's playground"---and warns that Clawrence cannot be bought, reasoned with, or satisfied. His cooperation is not redemption; it is pragmatic calculation from a mammal who understands the rigged game they all played. Key line: "The things WE did. All of us. For him. For Father."

S02E11 "The Cartographer"

After Pawbert endures Milton's vicious homophobic attack, Cattrick provides the location of Orin Draftwell's workshop in the Nocturnal District. This visit includes the first genuine fraternal moment between the brothers: "Whatever Father said to you... don't let it in." Cattrick also acknowledges that his previous intel helped confirm Clawrence was alive. His parting words capture his complicated position: "I'll never forgive you for putting me in here. But I understand why you did it." Still not redemption---but an evolution from pure resentment toward grudging understanding.

S02E18 "Tempest"

Luther arrives at maximum security desperate and covered in blood from the Precinct 1 siege. Clawrence has taken Pawbert, and Luther needs a location. His emotional plea strips away every professional barrier: "Pawbert is the best person I've ever known." Cattrick sees past the words to the truth beneath---this wolf loves his brother. Actually loves him. Not for the name or the money or what could be extracted. Their father taught them love was weakness, something to be weaponized. Cattrick could use this desperation against Luther. He doesn't. Instead, he provides the location of the old Lynxley weather station. His parting words: "Keep him safe. If you can." Not forgiveness. Not reconciliation. But a choice---the first one Cattrick has made that Milton would never have approved.

S02E20 "Aftermath"

Cattrick watches ZNN coverage of Clawrence's arrest and Pawbert's refusal to speak the authentication phrase. His expression is different from Milton's---curiosity rather than bitterness. He helped make this happen. Luther came to him broken, and Cattrick chose not to attack. On screen, Pawbert is being loaded into an ambulance, Luther climbing in after him. Cattrick recognizes the expression on Luther's face: someone who would burn down the world for the mammal on that stretcher. He's never felt that himself. But he recognizes it. Cattrick doesn't know if he did the right thing. He doesn't know if "right" is a concept that applies to a mammal like him---one who built a career on manipulation and served a father who deserved none of them. But he knows he made a choice. And the choice worked. That has to count for something.

Season 3

S03E05 "Claw and Present Danger"

During the Lionheart-orchestrated prison breach, Cattrick and Kitty escape from maximum security. Luther and Pawbert, reunited during the chaos, encounter them at the maximum security breach point.

Behind Cattrick and Kitty, Milton struggles to keep up, old and slow. Cattrick recognizes Luther from the visiting room eight months prior—the wolf who came desperate and broken, seeking Clawrence's location.

Cattrick addresses Luther with rare respect:

• CATTRICK: "You kept him safe."
• LUTHER: "I tried."
• CATTRICK: "You did more than try."

Then Cattrick delivers his most significant line to Pawbert: "Maybe love isn't weakness after all." This statement represents the culmination of his character arc—a complete rejection of Milton's philosophy that love is a weapon to be exploited.

Kitty and Cattrick are leaving Milton behind: "Father's not coming with us." They're going "somewhere the name Lynxley means nothing." Cattrick's parting words to Pawbert acknowledge their different paths: "You chose to stay. That's your path. This is ours."

They disappear into the chaos. Their escape is permanent—neither character returns during the main series.

Post-Credits Scene: Pawlawan (S05E51)

Four years after the prison breach, the pack encounters Cattrick and Kitty on the island nation of Pawlawan during their honeymoon. Cattrick now goes by "Patrick" and lives in a modest hillside house with Kitty ("Kay"), teaching yoga classes to tourists. The gold jewelry and formal attire are gone—replaced by loose linen and a sun-bleached calm that was never present before.

Over drinks at a cliffside bar, Cattrick finally explains why he gave Luther the location during the Clawrence crisis. When Luther broke down in the visiting room, Cattrick witnessed something he had never seen in the Lynxley family: genuine love. Milton taught them that love was leverage and vulnerability was weakness. Luther's desperation proved that wrong. Cattrick's quiet declaration captures his transformation: he chose not to be his father.

The conversation turns to childhood memories—Pawbert getting stuck in the manor oak tree, the silly notes he used to hide in jacket pockets. At the path where their directions split, Cattrick extends his paw for a handshake and tells Pawbert he is glad he made it out. Pawbert responds that he is glad Cattrick found somewhere to be Patrick instead of Cattrick. Luther agrees not to report the encounter—Pawlawan has no extradition treaty, and Cattrick helped save Pawbert's life.

Alone in his living room that night, Cattrick whispers to himself: "Good for you, Pawbert."

Significance

Cattrick represents the complexity within the Lynxley family. While he participated in and benefited from Milton's criminal empire, his interactions with Pawbert and Luther reveal a mammal who understood the cost of their family's cruelty. His decision to give Luther the location during the Clawrence crisis saved Pawbert's life—making Cattrick an unlikely participant in the pack's survival. His eventual rejection of the Lynxley name entirely, choosing to become "Patrick" on a distant island, completes an arc from complicit heir to someone who chose not to be his father.
