Here's why:
* Predators: The swamp is home to alligators, which would pose a threat to cats.
* Habitat: Wild cats typically prefer more forested and mountainous environments with diverse prey options. The swamp's vegetation and prey are primarily aquatic or semi-aquatic.
* Domestic cats: There may be instances of feral or stray domestic cats in the area, but these are not native wild cats.
If you see a cat-like creature in the Okefenokee Swamp, it's more likely to be a bobcat or a lynx, which are found in other parts of Georgia, but not typically in the swamp itself.
