Under "Feline Security"
"Itâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]s not easy keeping the grounds of Disneyland utterly spotless, as well as free of unwanted pests. Every night after closing time, 200 feral cats are released into the park to help keep the rodent population under control. Though Disney doesnâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]t comment on the matter, rumour has it that the feline taskforce dates back to 1957, when renovations to Sleeping Beauty Castle revealed a colony of more than 100 stray cats. After unsuccessful attempts to chase them out of the park, Disney decided to put the cats to work instead. Today they spend their daylight hours resting in the parkâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]s well-concealed ‘cat housesâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji], though you can sometimes spot a furry face peeking out between the mechanical lions on the Jungle Cruise."
I wonder if they TNR some of them to keep the population under control. That would be an interesting thing for someone to research.
Bravo, Disneyland.
