Why do people hate feral cats?
A. The two most common reasons are the smell and the noise they cause, but there are many other reasons. Feral cats can pose a serious threat to wildlife. If the cats get sick they can spread illness to pet animals. They can also fight with and drive away more docile, owned cats. Some people worry that a child may try to pick up a feral cat and get hurt. Backyards with a group of feral cats can become a breeding ground for fleas and other parasites.
