I just returned from a funeral in Louisiana and saw an uncle I hadn’t seen since the ’70’s. Coincidentally, he trapped the first ring tail cat in Louisiana as a teenager. It is on display somewhere in Baton Rouge. His name is Donny Waldron.

Two months ago I moved into a house that has been vacant for most of the year. Something was moving in the crawl spaces of the block walls near the ceiling. They make no sound just jumping around, leaving in a hurry between 5:30 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. After four exterminator visits no one knows what it is. One thought possibly a ring-tail cat but the space between insulation and roof was not spacious enough. After cutting into the sheet rock in a closet near the highest points of pitch I was able to see that it was possible for them or it to travel the perimeter of the house due to the block wall area of at least six inches and above the vents for heating and cooling there was more than enough room. What ever they are, they are very social because they come to what ever area of the house your in. We thought bats too, but not now. Can you help me? I’ve put a safe trap in the crawl space but they aren’t buying it. Suggestions PLEASE!!!

Nan you need to put a screen or spark arrest er over the flue on your fire place. That’s a bad area for animals to get trapped and die!

We had one climb down the inside of our fireplace last night and broke a ceramic figure on a shelf. We were scared to death because all we saw was a black tail run across our kitchen! We live in the mountains of Scottsdale, AZ so having one of these in our house was strange. He ran back up the fireplace and had apparently been coming in and out of our house all weekend because we found a box of chocolates eaten and hidden around our bathroom! He was cute though, but I’m glad he’s gone!!!!!!

Sorry, I did not proof read my comment. A ring-tail cat was climbing on the side of my cabin last night. It was just the cutest little creature and the markings were so distinct.

Do you know how many of these there are in California? I’m curious I have never seen one before. I would like to research some information on them. They are beautiful.
