Ecology
Iriomote cats are nocturnal and especially active during the twilight hours. During the daytime, they sleep in the hollows of trees or in caves. Their ranges run from 1-7 square kilometers, and they mark their territory within their range by urinating and defecating on rocks, tree stumps, and bushes. They are land mammals, but they do climb trees, go into the water, and will even swim.
