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 to authorities.
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. His evolution from complicit heir to someone capable of choosing differently is one of the series' quieter arcs.
Series History
Season 1
Cattrick appears on screen as a defendant during the Lynxley RICO trial. In "The Trial", he is convicted on all RICO charges and sentenced to life without parole alongside Milton and Kitty.
Season 2
"Blood Relations"
Cattrick's first speaking appearance. Pawbert visits him at maximum security seeking intel on Clawrence Lynxley. Cattrick 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 Beaverdam, near Grizzly Falls 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.
"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." He 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.
"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. Luther's emotional breakdown reveals the depth of his love for Pawbert — "Pawbert is the best mammal I've ever known." Cattrick sees past the words to the truth beneath: this wolf genuinely loves his brother. Their father taught them love was weakness, something to be weaponized. Cattrick could use this desperation against Luther. He does not. Instead, he provides the location of the Central Weather Interface and tells Luther: "Keep him safe. If you can." It is not forgiveness or reconciliation, but a choice — the first one Cattrick has made that Milton would never have approved.
"Aftermath"
Cattrick watches the news coverage of Clawrence's arrest and Pawbert's refusal to cooperate from his prison cell. He helped make this outcome possible — Luther came to him desperate, and Cattrick chose not to attack. His expression as he watches is one of curiosity rather than bitterness.
Season 3
"Claw and Present Danger"
During the Lionheart-orchestrated prison breach, Cattrick and Kitty escape from maximum security. They encounter Luther and Pawbert at the breach point. Cattrick recognizes Luther from the visiting room eight months prior and addresses him with rare respect, acknowledging that Luther kept Pawbert safe.
Cattrick then delivers his most significant statement to Pawbert: "Maybe love isn't weakness after all." This represents the culmination of his arc — a rejection of Milton's philosophy that love is a weapon to be exploited. He and Kitty are leaving Milton behind, heading somewhere the Lynxley name means nothing. His parting words to Pawbert acknowledge their different paths: Pawbert chose to stay, and Cattrick chose to leave.
They disappear into the chaos. Their escape is permanent — neither character returns during the main series.
Post-Credits Scene: Pawlawan
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 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.
