Hi, I live in a gated neighborhood with about 80 houses that are all right next to each other with small backyards.
I've noticed a few of the same cats wandering around and I'm not sure how to tell if they are feral or not.
I always see the same 4 cats one orange and white, one black, and the two others I've only seen in the dark so I'm not really sure I think one is white with patches of brown.
They don't have collars on and they don't let me get near them. We put some food on our ledge of our concrete fence and food was always all gone.
I've also noticed the person at the end of the neighborhood keeps food and water out on the side of their house, do you think it could be their cats? Or could they be leaving the food out for strays?
Is there a certain way to tell if a cat is feral or not? If they are I want to help them feed them and maybe make a warm spot for them to sleep in the winter. Is it okay to just leave a cat outside and feed it? I feel bad for the cats.
Any advice for me?
Thanks - Megan
