Wild cats of Disneyland photos.

My daughter, an avid cat lover, was thrilled when she learned about the kitties that live on property. She spent a lot of time trying to spot them. She only saw couple and was disappointed. Can some of you share your kitty picks for her? Here is one I caught, post nap, in the queue for BTMRR:

I will for the Disney Kitties when we go in Dec. ! Along with the Disney Ducks!

I think we saw the same one at BTMRR on our trip a couple of weeks ago.

There is an instagram page that is called "cats of disneyland" you should check out! They post a bunch.

After 9 trips to Disneyland, we finally spotted one of the elusive cats in DCA!

Thanks! I'm going to send them my photo.

I think catsofdisneyland calls this one Francisco, and we saw him outside GRR last trip too! A couple good cat spotting spots we've found are area around GRR, area between GCH and DCA where the hotel entrance is and the entry/exit to Indy.

I think I saw this cat getting lots of attention back by Condor Flats.

We saw one of the cats in the esplanade, of all places, before we ever got in the park on our first visit, lol. I love to see the photos of the cats in the park.

I've seen a kitty pretty consistently over by Grizzly Rapids!

I recently heard of the "Cats of Disneyland" which is a website/group that has lots of information about the various cats that guests have seen.

If you're on Twitter, they have an account. They periodically tweet/re-tweet photos of cats that people have sent them!

Just an FYI -- the person behind the Cats of Disneyland pages and accounts is someone who is/was a member of this forum, who created those accounts on a whim and they became popular. He had a popular Trip Report in the DLR Trip Report section. He is not as active on this forum as he used to be (for various reasons).

Also, I'm going to move this thread over to our Disneyland Community forum, which is where we move most of the photo-based threads. The main Disneyland forum is more for trip planning-related threads.

We saw this cat on our trip the summer of 2013. It was in the bushes/landscaping around the front of the Grand Californian. We cut through the Grand on our way back to the Anabella one night when my daughter spotted it. We didn't notice until later when we were looking at the pictures, the spots on it's back form a hidden Mickey!

CMs do call her Francisco, but since tortoiseshell cats are almost always female, lots of regular visitors call her Francesca. She is very friendly and likes being petted (when she's in the mood!). She can be found quite often in the area between Condor Flats and GRR, as the path makes the bend. We look for her and say hello every time we're in that area.

There are at least a couple of cats that hang out around the DLH. We've seen them around the pool area.

This is my very first cat of Disneyland sighting, last December. We saw this very nonchalant kitty near Grizzly River Rapids. Editing to add: I think Aladora and I may have photographed the same kitty!

Yes, that's Francesca! If you pet her, you'll know for certain that it's her by the kink in her tail. It doesn't show under all her floofy glamour, but you can feel that it's there.

I just realized my image was no longer showing. I'll try to post it again here -

Notice the classic hidden Mickey markings on it's back! We spotted this kitty outside the Grand Californian.
