Very few cats around. They are quite timid and won't bother you in any event. I don't recall ever seeing one at CCLP. Any that I've seen typically hang around a few of the restaurants like Jamaica Tamboo and Coconut International. None at the more upscale places like Kuyaba or Tanya's.

You'll be fine. No worries.

the feral cats will not come anywhere near you, if there are even any around - you'd be hard-pressed to be able to pick them up - they'd never jump on you.

domestic cats will turn back to feral faster and more successfully than just about any other animal - so no worries.

just leave them alone and you'll be fine.

Wow/ Bless you Blues Pirates and Rawlus for a quick reply. Thanks so much. Now I can relax and continue to count down the sleeps with excitement and ease. many respect

If you prefer dog's over cat's then you are going to the right place. I have seen vary few cat's but lot's of small brown dog's. We alway's brink a bag of small dog biscuts when going to Negril.

Yes, there were a couple of cats that were hanging around CocoLapalm in June when we were there. They were very sweet, shy, and harmless. My kids tried to make friends with them, but they were pretty timid. No worries!

OneHeart 8,

Yes, there are stray cats and dogs in J. They will leave you alone but some will try to beg if you are out eating. Seeing that you are a dog lover check out the website for The Animal House. Also, if possible bring some treats with you for the dogs.

If I remember correctly, Marley's by the sea is at Coco Lapalm. There were a couple of stray cats there when we ate dinner in July. They didn't come near the tables.

I saw many feral cats in Negril, DH laughed at how I found one nearly every day. They didn't approach unless invited. One waited on our porch every night for dinner. We would have loved to take her home.

I wouldn't worry about them jumping up on you. They seem to know to stay clear unless encouraged to cuddle.
