Texas Native Cats – Our Wild Neighbors

Learn about the five species of wild cats that call Texas home or did historically. Find out about their habitat and diet, the benefits they provide to the environment, and the threats they face. At the end of Monica Morrison’s presentation, you'll leave with a better understanding and appreciation of our native felines.
Monica Morrison is the founder of Texas Native Cats, an organization that provides educational presentations to groups in Texas about the five species of exotic cats that call or have called Texas home. Many people are unaware of the great diversity of our felines, their habitat, physical characteristics, threats they face, and the importance they play in maintaining Nature’s health and diversity. In a state that has seen explosive human population growth, this native Texan presents the cats’ struggle to cope with human influence and gives a voice to these amazing animals.
