I know, I know, we have a ferals and strays forum here,
but even though I'm a day late, I wanted to do something for Feral Cat Day (October 16th) and start a thread about the topic here in the Cat Lounge.
I'd love to hear from members who aren't necessarily involved with feral cat care about the state of feral cats in their area. For those of you who don't know, I live in Israel, where we have a huge feral cat population. Due to the wonderful Mediterranean climate, cats manage to breed on the streets and create generation after generation of kittens. A handful of cities do have TNR projects, but they're just a drop in a sea of cats.
While traveling in the US, I saw very few cats outside. I wonder if that's because there are significantly fewer feral cats, or because they're more shy and stay out of sight during the day. I'm curious and I'd love to hear more about how our members across the glove experience feral cats in their respective area.

I wanted to point the spotlight at feral cats for Feral Cat Day and get the topic out of the ferals forum for a bit.
