how do cats exactly become feral?
Ok, I know that there are stray cats that wander off from home or are dumped off? But where are these prevalent numbers coming from?
How come there aren't feral dog packs?I know they exist but nowhere near the numbers of feral cats...
So, I guess my stupid question is....Is it just an owner who opens their door and never sees their unspayed/unneutered cat again? or dumps them off in the woods? and they meet up with other cats to mate with and that is it?
They start multiplying into a colony???
I suppose I am just naive and really curious. I live on the river here and you NEVER actually see the cats (but you hear them when they squabble! Its piercing!)....I imagine them as living underground and not appearing as regular housecats do...
Now that I have really embarrassed myself fully, I will bow out
I think you all do a terrific job
