Cat Urbigkit has been a full-time writer since 1996. She is a correspondent for a variety of newspapers in the western region, freelances for several magazines, and is the author of a web-based news site for information about Rocky Mountain wolves, and a contributor to a nature blog.
Cat writes and photographs non-fiction books for children. She is also the author of an adult non-fiction book on the history of wolves in Wyoming.
In 2001, Cat expanded her activities to include photography, focusing her efforts on documenting western Wyoming's migratory sheep industry and the animals involved in this primitive method of agriculture. Her photographs capture sheep, guardian dogs and horses, as well as Nepalese and Mexican herders, Basque ranch owners, quiet camps and vast landscapes. Other topics Cat has included in developing her photography portfolio of more than 25,000 images include western cattle ranching, the natural gas industry, high desert cushion plants, domestic animals, Rocky Mountain wildlife and Indian relay racing. She traveled to western Mongolia in 2008 to photograph the men who use golden eagles to hunt furbearers.
Cat has won numerous awards for her journalism, her books, and her photography. She lives on a working sheep and cattle ranch in western Wyoming with her family and her livestock guardian animals, including sheep guard dogs and wild burros.
