The Elusive Felis Disneylanis

[Aristocat]

Yes. I have managed to snap a photo of the oft-talked-about-but-rarely-seen Feral Cat of Disneyland.



Okay. So, it's only one of the MANY cats that inhabit the Resort. And it was at California Adventure, not Disneyland. But still!
I was having lunch on the patio at Whitewater Snacks when out of the bushes/trees by Redwood Creek came this little sweetie. I wonder if the resort manages their cat poplulation in any way. Trap-neuter-release? Or Trap-vaccinate-release?
Anyhoo, this calico kitty was awfully sweet. The picture doesn't do justice to his/her bushy tail and I'm sorry I only got a rear-end shot. I wasn't quick enough with the camera.


Wasn't quick enough with Tony Shalhoub, either, but that's another post...

We've seen several of these guys in both DCA and DL, especially over by Hungry Bear.

Re: The Elusive Felis Disneylanis

From what I understand, they do trap and vet the cats. I have been visited while eating at Cafe Orleans (before the makeover). There are a few of the cats that are people friendly. For some reason I attract animals who are looking for safety and comfort...cats, ducks, little birds, ect...

Re: The Elusive Felis Disneylanis

I've seen 'em everywhere in Disneyland, but never in DCA! I didn't know they had fierce wild Disneyland kitties there, too. Thanks for showing us!

And I swear, some days that restaurant should be renamed to the Hungry Cat instead.

DCA...you usually can find a few right in front of the "train" in the evening, that's where Wolfette always looks for them...everytime!!!

This is where we have seen them the most, but also over by the smoking area that runs behind Grizzly River Rapids.

Re: The Elusive Felis Disneylanis

Oh my you just made my day Aristocat! I now have a new addition to my "must see while in Disneyland" list. I just cannot resist something that soft, furry, and adorable! The only thing better than a cat is a Disneyland cat :love:

PS - Circarama your cat is adorable, thanks for sharing his photo with us!

Re: The Elusive Felis Disneylanis

I think that's a great idea to have them there Keep the place free from mice and rats, AND any scraps of food that stupid people throw in the bushes, ect

Re: The Elusive Felis Disneylanis

The cats are left there to catch rats. Most people will say "aww cute" if they see a cat. On the other hand if they see a rat.....

Re: The Elusive Felis Disneylanis

I saw one not too long ago when I went on the Jungle Cruise. It was night and the cat was walking sort of along the water's edge at the part where you enter pirahna waters. After all the enormous "animals" we had just seen, THAT one got the biggest reaction from the guests. Unforch, the skipper had no good one-liners to mark the occasion.

Re: The Elusive Felis Disneylanis

Whenever I bussed the tables outside the Bur-r-Bank/Baker's Field train after DCA closed, I would always see those cats criss-cross from the tracks below to the the deserty place under the Condor Flats sign. One time I even spied kittens ^.^ Besides that, I've seen them at the Hungry Bear on several occasions too.
