The feral cats of Disneyland

[Cosmic Commando]

That's a beautiful cat.

I'm curious, did you really approach the cat and try to take it home? LOL.

Christa wanted to. I reminded her what "feral" meant, but I told her that if she called it and it came, we could take it home. She called it from the sidewalk about 10 ft away, it couldn't have cared less, and we moved on. I'm honestly not sure how serious she was, but fortunately the cat didn't call her "bluff"!

Side note: NEW SMILEYS!!!!!!!

So they just shine strobes on them at night? Wow - Disney magic!

This is Disneyland, not WDW! Watch yo' self!

HAHAHAHAHA, maybe Christa will have better luck next time. Don't you guys already have a cat?

It's about time. MiceChat has better smileys.

But we have a better site.

But we have a better site.

I connect better with MiceChat, because of my DL background and family over there, but I love this site, too. I like MiceChat's articles. They're definitely more well-rounded.

I read the articles almost daily.

Same. Some of them are boring and some of them are interesting. Depends on the topic.

I really wish this site had an USH forum. :/ Oh well.

TheStudioTour.com is a pretty interesting site.....not very active, but still interesting.

As some of you may know, I read both MiceChat and this one. I'm very interested in the feral cats. On our last trip (2009), we saw a cat and thought we were seeing things. Now I know what we saw, and we'll be on the lookout during next week's visit!

I am quite the cat person (hence my screen name!), so would love to spot one of the famous Disneyland cats on our trip. You can bet we'll be keeping an eye out for them!

Thanks for all the info about them, Raven! I'm especially glad to hear that they're so well cared for and receive regular veterinary care. Since that's the case, I think it's such a cool behind the scenes thing for Disneyland to have and an efficient and natural way to keep some pests under control.

Okay,I just found my dream job "Keeper of the Cats".
I am going to keep my Eyes out for them in 57 Days!

We're going to be there at the same time! Have a great trip

I was looking for something in my photobucket and a I came across this: my very first feral cat sighting from way back in 2008! Much simpler times... no line to get into DCA!

Found this little guy on the walkway to the parking structure. Wanted to take him home, but he didn't want to come with us... I guess he liked living at Disneyland. It would be a cool souvenir, though.

Definitely part of a controlled feral population. His ear is "tipped." Usually done in catch/neuter/release control programs to indicate the kitty's been fixed.

This is a great thread.

I saw a kitten in a wdw park once (forget which one, but think it was MK) I was kind of worried about it, but it looked healthy.

I know this is an old thread but I thought I'd go ahead and bump it up after seeing this posted this morning on the Animal Rescue Site:

There's a cute video of one of the cats included as well. Such sweet little guys... it'd be hard for me to resist taking them home!!

That cat has got the bushiest tail I've ever seen on a cat.

And such a beautiful coat.

I'm bumping this old thread simply because I discovered a glorious Twitter page called Cats of Disneyland (@disneylandcats), and it's pretty funny. Enjoy the jokes.
