'''Lynx''' was a [[cat]] generated by [[the Doctor's TARDIS]], image-coded by the survival circuits as a projection when there was a dire threat. She was hinted at being made of [[artron energy]] and looked like liquid [[Mercury (element)|mercury]] because of her silver fur.

 

After the Process invaded the TARDIS, the ship collided with the [[Time Scaphe]] and reformed into a [[SARDIT]]. There, Lynx followed the [[Seventh Doctor]] and Ace through the wasteland until the TARDIS was restored. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Cat's Cradle: Time's Crucible (novel)|Cat's Cradle: Time's Crucible]]'')

 

Because of the ordeal the ship's link with the [[Eye of Harmony]] was broken. Lynx accompanied the Doctor as he fought the [[Butler Institute]] on early [[21st century]] [[Earth]], while the TARDIS waited at [[The Doctor's house|his house]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Cat's Cradle: Warhead (novel)|Cat's Cradle: Warhead]]'') When the ship was finally repaired with [[protoplasm]] from [[Tír na n-Óg]], Lynx returned to the mathematical cat's cradle within the [[time rotor]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Cat's Cradle: Witch Mark (novel)|Cat's Cradle: Witch Mark]]'')

 

She later followed the Doctor into [[Fred (Transit)|Fred]]'s [[dimension]] and helped [[Kadiatu Lethbridge-Stewart]] fight it. There was also a green cat which may have been the protoplasm that infected the TARDIS, as Lynx almost fought it. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Transit (novel)|Transit]]'')
