This is for you and Jeff.
Catching cats through the ice is very doable. As Jeff says, find a body of water that holds Cats. Take the time to find the honey hole; the cats seem to congregate in a deeper part of the lake or river.
I found such a place in Willard some years back. Though it was a long walk I fished it when ever I felt up to it. The rate of catch was better than I have found during the summer.
This is not exaggeration: I caught them almost as fast as I could get my lure down the hole. I kept after them until one day the ice broke around the hole and needless to say I got wet. That was the last time I fished exclusively for them. I have caught them in Newton and Echo as well while fishing for other species.
I am at a point of my life when I just enjoy catching a fish even if it is a carp. Just don't have the stamina for the pursuit.
