October 16th is Feral Cat Day! (Click the link to be taken to the original post in Caring for Strays & Ferals about this important day, with ideas of how YOU can be a part of the solution and the celebration.)
BIG THANKS to Laurie, a.k.a. LDG, for reminding us of this upcoming day and suggesting that we carry it past the Strays & Ferals Forum to the Lounge to remind everyone about the felines who walk silently in the shadows, who need us to be their voice.
For those who are not familiar with feral cats, or may not even know what they are, here are some links to some articles on TCS and websites where you can learn more:

In addition, we will be running a couple of special threads and contests during the month to allow our wonderful members and their amazing feral cats (whether in a managed colony or a socialized or semi-socialized indoor feral living in luxury) to educate those who haven't had their lives changed by contact and interaction with these amazing creatures.
