Does anybody know if all ferals are scared of dogs? Two colony cats moved out (one is the one in my sig, he's not a feral but a stray..they changed his name to Omar, can't think of him as Omar) to somebody's backyard one block away. The family likes them, feeds them, made a shelter under their shed for them and they're trying to befriend Omar to take in. Paulette, the kitty that went with him, is a true feral so she'd live in their backyard. All's fine except I wonder why would Paulette the feral choose a backyard with 2 dogs in it? I thought ferals considered dogs predators to stay away from, we have 2 former ferals that are housecats now but they will run and hide when they hear a dog outside or a dog sound from T.V or radio...
I'm a bit baffled by that. These are the only two that moved out when the house in the colony's property was torn down last summer, all other cats came back. Or is it one of those "all cats are different" deal? Paulette is a real feral that only gets along with the colony's patriarch (another oddity, why would she go with Omar? She didn't get along with other ferals I thought, just with Blacky, the patriarch and he 'adopted' her as a teenager)
Thanks
