Abstract
The research was conducted in order to analyze the non-estrous season home range of feral cats which are resided in Gyeoneju National Park of Korea from October 2008 to January 2009. As a result of research, individual feral cats(♂) located outside the woods of national park was examined to 100% MPC $0.18\;km^2$, 95% KR $1.10\;km^2$, 50% KR $0.02\;km^2$, while individual feral cats(♀) located inside forest which near Baekunam temple was indicated to 100% MPC $0.31\;km^2$, 95% KR $0.28\;km^2$, 50% KR $0.03\;km^2$. This shows that feral cats located within forest has greater home range than outside the forest. The home range of feral cats is also analyzed during daytime and nighttime, and both individual feral cats located inside and outside the forest have a wide home range during nighttime than daytime and again feral cats located within forest has greater home range than outside the forest for both daytime and nighttime.
