I think most people would use the term stray or "wild" in regards to a cat that wouldn't let them pet or approach them.
But my aunt used to take care of a group of ferals that lived behind her house so I knew that term already.
Where I live currently, there are strays (well only one and she has a new home!) and then there are "those damn cats that live with the neighbor behind us!" Seriously, this neighbor has at least 6 or 7 cats who seem to think our yard is the greatest thing since sliced bread. Which is fine, except when they chase off our cats!
