We have our trail cam set up where we are trapping feral cats, to see who we aren’t seeing when we are out there looking. Our local cat shelter said to expect double the number of cats in a colony than are seen. I can see how that would be the case, as there are pictures of cats that I have not seen with my own eyes. What makes cataloging difficult is that there are at least two long haired torties, one or two (or more) short haired torties, several black both long and short haired, at least one tabby, at least one orange, as well as the neighbor’s cats that I know are fixed. The big flame point is easy to spot, and he seems to be unique in the colony. There are also cats that don’t show up on the trail cam. Different territories maybe?
