Meet the native cats of texas

Individual Cats

There are five species of wild cats that currently or historically call Texas home: jaguars, mountain lions, bobcats, ocelots, and jaguarundis.

THE TAMU Attitudes SURVEY

What do Texans believe about our mountain lion?

Texas Native Cats partnered with Texas A&M University to poll residents to find out. Among many other results, survey participants overwhelmingly believe that efforts should be made to ensure the survival of this species in Texas.
