What is the difference between a Feral cat and a Stray cat?
Not all cat lovers know the difference between a stray and a feral cat. Stray cats are those that have been lost or abandoned. Many will seek out human contact and can be re-socialized into a home environment to become adoptable. Stray cats are often candidates for rescue groups, where they will be cared for until they are adopted. Still, a stray cat that has been living outside for quite sometime, with no human contact, can turn feral.
There is absolutely NO difference between a stray and a feral cat. BOTH are INVASIVE-SPECIES that are destroying all the native wildlife (native prey becomes tortured cats’ playtoys, native predators starve to death from INVASIVE-SPECIES cats destroying their ONLY food source). BOTH are spreading many deadly diseases (including even the plague today) to all other animals and humans. BOTH are illegally trespassing on others’ property.
Perhaps cat-owners should learn the distinction between being a responsible pet-owner and a criminally irresponsible one. If not, too bad. The rest of the world is not your pet’s baby-sitter. A highly destructive INVASIVE-SPECIES pet at that. That’s YOUR job to keep them from harm lest you be held criminally responsible for animal-abandonment, animal-endangerment, and animal-cruelty laws.
Would you care to watch out for the safety and well-being of about 150,000,000 pet piranha released into all your waterways, lakes, swimming areas, and backyard pools? It’s the EXACT same thing that cat-owners would be requesting by having everyone treat their stray cats differently from feral cats.
