Channel Cats



This is a Channel Cat.

They can weigh up to 15 pounds. They can reach lengths of up to 30 inches. They have a deeply forked tail, with sharply pointed lobes.

The color is blue gray to slight gray. The belly is white-ish.

They prefer to live in clear warm lakes, large rivers, on clean sand and rock rubble. Young channels cats may be found in fast flowing waters. They prefer deep pools and runs and rivers. They can also be found in ponds, reservoirs, and lakes and even some large trout streams.

They spawn in May through early June. They deposit 2,000 to 70,000 eggs per year depending on their size. Young cats are insect eaters. As they grow they switch to fish, crayfish, and mollusks and sometimes plant matter.

They feed mostly at night, but often eat from the bottom in the dim daylight. The young fish have been known to feed on the surface.

Channel cats are known to be more of a sight feeder because they mostly live in clear waters.
