Those cats have made it all the way to the Southeastern USA. There was one that kept stalking me back in May when I was staying with my parents in rural Darlington County, SC. She was obviously nursing. I was certain she was tracking my 2 year old daughter while we were walking along the woods on a power line right of way, prompting me to put her on my shoulders to make the target look too big, and divert our course to the parallel dirt road. I did see the cat and her two cubs a few nights later.
