Stray Cats at Disney World ??

[raven]

Yes, stray cats are in WDW. Seen many of them.

Actually, all those ducks you see around the World that you think are ducks? Those are all the feral cats in character! :ROFLOL:

Yep, we saw one several years ago darting between bushes in front of COP in Tomorrowland. It went behind the big gear in front of the attraction.

At the Poly

There are several cats that prowl around the pool area outside of Captain Cook's at the Poly. I see at least one of them every time we stay there.

I was going to say the same thing. I see stray cats every year at the Poly! Outside of Capt Cooks!

Did he look like this?

Or more like this? :ROFLOL:

Haha. More like the top one.

Could have been a Panther as they do exist (I have seen them personally here in Florida though not as WDW as of yet)... but it could have also been its far more common smaller cousin: The Bobcat.....

Here is a pic I found of one on google.

No matter what you saw.....encounters with the big cats is something to cherish!!! As long as it isnt too close

It could have been. But it wasn't spotted that we could tell.

There was a stray cat at POP when I was there last January. Black and white cat, saw it every day. We saw it's little den it made for itself out of the pine and palms on the ground. We even pretty much knew its daily routine and where to find it.

In one of these threads posted a while back, there was a rumor that a very large (and very much real) snake was removed from the Swiss Family Treehouse. Anyone have details?

In the same thread (which I'll look for) someone also mentioned a large cat (panther? bobcat? I don't remember) being found over by Splash Mountain early one morning before the park opened.

I wonder if either of these stories were real.

I was PUMPED when I saw this I thought these dudes were coming to perform or something...

 

[blackthidot]

I saw The Stray Cats perform at The Fox theater in Atlanta.

LOVE them!!

I saw and petted a feral cat at Pop Century. One of the groundskeepers told me the cat has been hanging around for a long time,and gets along well with people. I'm sure there are cats all over the resorts. Lets face it,they provide a valuable service, keeping the vermin population down.

If they are true, both are very creepy

It would not surprise me one bit but from what I understand most of the closures due to wildlife that occur on the tree house are due to bees. If I am not mistaken they have the same issue over that the shooting gallery.

I found the post, for those interested...

... ok photos exist of maintenence removing a snake that's about 8 feet long from the Swiss Family Treehouse. Now before you get shocked it was a while ago that this happened, however they keep saying the place is full of snakes. Don't let it put you off and no I can't get the picture because it's on a wall and they'd notice it missing... The snakes won't bother you, they just bother me.

The panther story however hasn't been substantiated however according to my source (I won't drop names as I don't want to get anyone in trouble) one morning, and I mean early morning (like 3 or 4 AM), in Frontierland there was a Florida panther roaming around. He just seemed to run around by the train station and disappear. This was also a while ago and as Florida Panthers are endangered and rare to see, I doubt you'd see one anyway especially when the parks are open. But remember that wildlife does exist that Disney just can't control.

We have spotted several cats in the bushes around the side of the PotC building. There's a walkway with benches that goes to the restrooms in the back and they have been in the bushes there.
