I have seen cats in Memphis, MO., & Perry County MO., for the last 8 years. And, yes, I'm bettin there are many more around that we don't see. They will migrate 50 miles lookin for mates and habitat. There is a deep cave near our property with bones, etc., in the very back of the cave, and the GW suggestes its where a pair of cats lair up when they migrate thru the area.
