11/18/24 Fascinating update on the remaining feral cat: One Feral Cat's Story ruclips.net/video/wuf9aoIyFYA/видео.html To get up to speed on the history of these feral tomcats if you haven't seen previous videos check out: Raccoon Attacks Feral Cat ruclips.net/video/TDER8_mwPd8/видео.html Raccoon Attacks Feral Cat Part 2 ruclips.net/video/qdgRmm66Unc/видео.html Feral Cat Stalks Bobcats ruclips.net/video/w07Ep-PY8TQ/видео.html Feral Cat Escapes Trap A Documentary ruclips.net/video/sNcx7nbl8Fk/видео.html Feral Tomcat Scent Sprays "His" Jungle ruclips.net/user/shortsjJ8vQb-FJm4 Young Raccoon Separated from Mom Encounters Feral Cat ruclips.net/video/C1AMAybvJOc/видео.html Feral Cat Documentary ruclips.net/video/S-p-Hqfab9Y/видео.html note that these current cats are likely related to this strikingly similar cat from nine years ago
Fun fact: Cats spend like 70-80% of the waking hours cleaning bc a clean coat is the beauty standard for these courting rituals. So the male cleaning himself before and after he meets the female is the same as a human male freshening up in the bathroom before going back out to court a woman😂
It's also very fitting for cats because lets face it, whenever you look at the face of any cat, their facial expressions ether say "I can see into your soul human" or "( Sigh. ) you barely said anything and already you're boring me." Like they all look like they have a massive ego so it makes sense they spent so much time pampering themselves.
@@shane3428 the stray and feral cats in my neighborhood must have missed the memo. The toms are dirty, injured, and sick the vast majority of the time and the big bully of the neighborhood has a nasty respiratory infection. Half the females and at least some of their kits have it too, but he's by far the worst and he had my poor girl trapped in our car's engine compartment for an entire night. She got out the window and it took almost a week to get her back in because he refused to accept that she wanted *nothing* to do with him. She was dehydrated, half-starved, and the stress of it all gave her the runs and had her shut down for days. We had to quarantine her from her kit too (he's 6 months and was scheduled for a surgery). That jerk of a tomcat is lucky I don't own coveralls and that he's too sick for a next-day neuter with the SPCA. And for context, my girl was one of the strays too; so it's not like she doesn't have survival skills. That tom is just... A walking, quadrupedal phallus I guess.
@@Dazzalingfossil6040 I feel like I see that most when cats aren't actually comfortable being themselves around people. The kit that's been with me since he was born? He's been being himself around me and my partner his whole little life because he's had no real reason to do otherwise (and his mom is with us too so it's not like he doesn't know how to be a cat). He's absolutely magnificent, even when he's being a little butthead and testing boundaries. My curtains will never look the same, but I can live with that. It's my own fault for not getting him a tree sooner lol. His "I'm content with the world" face is one heck of a drug. His tongue sticks out just the teeniest tiniest bit and with any luck I might get another 18 years with him.
It's wild how, well, wild cats behave when they're raised away from humans even though cats have been domesticated for thousands of years. Of course, I've also heard that pigs can revert to their wild form when away from humans as well even though pigs were domesticated since probably the beginning of agriculture in human society. Never underestimate the territorial nature of cats, even cats raised by humans.
That's cause the female is not wild, you can see the base of her tail is shaved, owners typically do that for fluffier cats so they don't get poop stuck in their fur
I don’t think the female is feral. Her hind side fur is trimmed, which owners do that for fluffy cats to help with hygiene from the cat using the restroom. :/
I’ve seen a lot of fluffy wild cats, and she didn’t look trimmed? 🤔 but hey, if you know what you’re talking about I’m not one to speak up- I have no clue 😂
I'm not seeing a trimmed area, myself. She just looks like a standard medium-haired cat with pointed coloration over a tabby coat. The medium-length hair can manifest in weird areas, and it often leads to shorter "pantaloon" fur than you'd see on a long-hair cat. My medium-hair boy has fairly short pantaloons to go along with a floofy tail and a pretty fluffy ruff around his neck. This female does seem to be quite plump, however, and that makes me think she's probably habituated enough to humans to at least supplement her wild-caught diet with some catfood from neighbors. She might even be "owned" outright.
A lot of tom cats are very aggressive towards other males and very aggressive towards females but this guy is in full control and knows that by being gentle towards the female will score him points. And it was a great video and thanks for sharing!
I used to set out food for one male cat that I thought the last tenant left behind. (They didn't and he never tried coming inside.) He brought a young female with him and let her eat his food. Wasn't long before I noticed she was growing. The next time he did this, I nabbed her just before she had the babies. A friend took them all out to a farm property. Had to end the cycle. He died before he could have a 3rd round. They have a rough life.
To paraphrase my late uncle, Col. Lingus, "Tomcats have a much easier time of courtship than we humans do ... they can saunter over to just about any pu55y they desire and start lickin, without getting tackled and read their Miranda rights." 😂 Sorry, obligatory puns.
I raised a rural, feral kitten. She's almost 16 yrs. When she was very young she'd practice running from tree to tree. None of the tame kittens I've had did that.
For clarity: Wild animals are those that have not been domesticated. I have captured a few wild animals and kept them as "pets", but they are not domesticated animals. Feral animals are those that have been domesticated but whose parents or ancestors have gotten loose, escaped, been abandoned, or something like that; and they are born and raised without humans. They may even live near human dwellings, or in more remote places. The stray cat is the link between tame cats and feral cats. If a stray cat has kittens, they will likely be raised without humans and will grow up feral. BTW most "pigeons" in the world are feral rock doves native to the Middle East. In their native habitats, they live on cliffs.
Good explanation, a lot of people seem to think "domesticated" just means any animal in captivity which is not the case. And people often use words like "feral" and "stray" interchangeably when they mean different things. I would just like to add though that rock doves were originally native not just to the middle east, but also ranged from India, to north Africa, southern Europe and we even have a native wild type population in the north of Scotland and Northern Ireland here in the UK
Seeing feral colorpoint cats is pretty rare! I have a colorpoint cat who was born stray (not a feral wildcat) and I assume she was from a domestic siamese and a stray/feral tabby. Great video by the way!
I used to have a color-point cat born as a stray as well. He had adorable white mittens, a white blotch on his face, and was the sweetest boy. The point coloration requires both parents to either be color-points themselves or carriers of the recessive gene. So your cat might have been the offspring of a Siamese (or other point-color breed) and a stray/feral, but the stray/feral would have to be a carrier for that recessive trait. It's uncommon in feral cats, but it's there!
Your videos from Bobcats to Birds are always entertaining and educational - thanks enjoyed. The color-points lynx pattern on her tail, legs,face, ears - indicates she might have some Siamese or Balinese or Himalyan or Ragdoll in her background wondered if she had blue eyes to go with the color points
The point coloration is the result of a recessive genetic variant that sort of overlays the base coat (in her case, some kind of tabby). So both of her parents had to at least be carriers of the recessive gene. It's less common in ferals, but I've seen it in colonies before. In one colony I used to work with, there was a single prolific male seal-point who sired generations of kittens, so many that point-colored kittens weren't uncommon (you'd see maybe a single point-colored kitten pop up regularly among litters of tabbies and torties). Combined with that medium-length coat is even more unusual, and she also looks fairly plump. I assume she either has a part-time "owner" or is habituated enough to humans she's her diet is being supplemented by handouts. Such a gorgeous girl with unusual looks makes this pretty likely.
Cats are very interesting when they are in heat or mating. My girls got fixed a little bit after the boys so I go to see quite a bit of attempted sexy time. Each male cat has his own style of doing business. One like to give lots of kisses, the other is kind of a bumbling boy, the other is rough and tumble. The girls too are totally different. One is demanding and wild, the other is in her own world (she lays on her side and swims in a cirle like she is doing water ballet. It's funny because the concept is that animals do their business all the same and no big deal. Not true.
Well all "Mammals" group species have a frontal lobe. Even little or big that part of the brain regulates personalitys and likes/dislikes. Even tiny rats with a brain small as a coin and a frontal lobe as small as a peppercorn can have their own style of doing stuff.
No ,he /she said that was before spaying/neutering as far as i understood. Cats can't do anything sexual after castration,they just stop (females stop going in heat and won't let anyone try to mate with them,males lose interest in females and trying to mate with them,they still mark their territory and may be aggressive towards other cats,even though that becomes rarer as a whole,but it depends on the cat's personality after all,some remain dominant,some become more social and less dominant,but nothing sexual at least in my experience with stray cats.@@plumeria66
I heard it said when a cat approaches you and offers you the top of their head then you are family if they just rub their cheek on you then your furniture
Little does the new alpha feral male know that she’s setting him up to get jumped by the bobcat mafia.. Stay tuned for next week’s exciting episode of The Young and The Felis!
@@bocaraca3814 Yes they are a threat to other animals, but I am watching this channel because I love animals in general. I do not even live anywhere near there. I think you should take it up with the owner of the channel and let him know. If you do not like feral cats then don't watch it.
@@laurah.7696 I simply was surpised over a comentary about protect the "habitat" of a invasive species... If i follow this chanel is for the interactions that we usually dont see
Just by looking at the female and younger male interacting, I feel as though they aren't exactly strangers. Especially because female cats when not receptive to mating tend to be rather aloof.. and I don't she is based on posture. If anything, my bets as to why the two males tolerate each other so well-- and why the younger one immediately greets her with some licks-- tells me not only was he expecting her, but that they are probably related somehow. My bets are on the younger tom being her son, and potentially the older one being his father. This is just what makes sense to me, and might not be the case since this observation is mostly out of context.
I’m from the Scottish highlands, on the NW coast near the Isle of Skye. We have proper Scottish wildcats here…..very rare and endangered. There’s a wildlife park about 120 miles from here that has bred them and releases them back into the wild. Nice seeing American cats!
I tried making a multi cat shelter for the almost feral cats in my old neighborhood. It was pathetic and didn't hold up with the winter snow and moisture. Next time I make a shelter I'll make up something like what you've got here. I did leave the cats with a two room dog house that I tried water proofing.
I didn’t know feral cats could have a coat like that? Thought they were all stripes and brown/greyish like the tomcat. Except parents or grandparents were kittypets?
I'd read and also seen the local unwanted cats (edge of town) how they live. The males leave their first colony and seem to only fight for females. I feel bad when they lose their ladies. Cost one fella an eye. I assume you supplement their food as they all look healthy.
6:37 Sorry-I don’t really know much about cats (I only have dogs, lol)…why is the male standing up with his spine arched like that? I always thought that was a sign that they’re aggravated or about to fight, but here it looks like he’s maybe wanting to appear bigger/taller to impress the female? …am I way off base? 🤣

These feral domestic cats destroy wild bird populations and other native animal species. Please people, neuter/spay your cats and keep them indoors. This is not good to allow feral populations to breed like this.
@@MyBackyardBirdingI was just going to comment inquiring about this! GREAT news! I understand that they won't be able to live indoors, but having them spayed/neutered, and now monitored and provided for is such great news 🤗
Yes, that's going to be my winter project - kittens have a very low survival rate in wild - I have a place that will take good care of them. All of these feral's are natural and unfixed. BB
@@MyBackyardBirding Dont neuter the big male!! Due to natural selection this male has obtained very good genes, if you neuter him he cannot pass them on.
@@PinkRose93 Cats have never been domestic animals like dogs. They still have strong wild instincts in them. Cats were wild when we found them and then we took the friendliest ones into our homes. The ones we have as pets are not wild natural cats. They are descendants of the ones we have taken fom the wild and selectively bred to live with us. And since we have cats as pets now people have forgotten the true origin of wild cats. The ones that lived in the wild naturally before we intervened with it.
omg all the warriors fan here 😭 y’all still exist??? i used to play WCUE on roblox a TON back in 2019, the whole community was there and we had so much fun doing all sorts of warriors shenanigans, then i left for school and came back in 2023 but the whole game was filled with therians????? and none of them read the books, they were all just doing their own thing, all the warriors people were gone 😭 and they were kinda unfriendly too, that game used to be my happy place 😢 just venting a little, not saying I hate therians or anything but where did my warriors people go 😭
@@GDeNofa Thanks for the tip, I may end up trying that as the two big toms are wily and a tight fit for my havahart one I'm pretty sure is a Maine Coon and many possums and raccoons will go in trap first. BB
@@MyBackyardBirding I invested in a raccoon larger trap. It helped a huge gray Tom last year. He was NOT a happy camper but he’s much safer now and gets fed every night. but drop traps are a win win if they won’t pad in a trap. Good luck and don’t give up!
Hope you have good luck trapping them with the cat nip you spoke of earlier. Feral cats have no place in nature. There are several on my road that I'm going to try to trap. Thanks for the videos
Chris Spanks, I would definitely have to disagree totally with your comment. In my community, we have successfully started colonies of feral cats that have been caught & fixed. Then put back in the colony. They are very happy & live outside by choice. They are monitored & received vet care. But mostly they take care of themselves.
@@chrisspanks7750, I have personally rehomed 10 to my 5 acres thru the years. I have 3 males right now. We have about 15 raccoons that come thru to eat every night. They take turns walking me to the bird feeders, they have hundreds of birds & squirrels eating every day. We have deer, fox, groundhogs, coyotes. And yes , even had a couple bears . My oldest actually slapped the bear, he is very jealous. Lol So I don't think wildlife is hurting around here. We have these colonies around town also. They love Walmart, they can find alot of food in the dumpsters.
@@loriedwards4953 It depends on how fragile the ecosystem is where your feral cats live. If it's near a colony of rare bird species or some other group of protected small animal species that fits into a cat's mouth, then the feral cats need to be dealt with. If it's a bunch of feral cats in a city, which doesn't have any rare and/or protected wildlife, then keeping a colony of alley cats out on the streets is not a problem and might actually help with keeping other pests such as rats and mice away.

They have short average lifespans though and usually get very sick without out help
@@GoldenShrike yes, and they are wild animals which means they have a natural resistance to those. there called feral for a reason you knob.
A lot of supposedly domesticated cats are still pretty feral in behavior.

actually when cats rub their cheek on you its a sign of affection and rubbing their scent on you to be like "this is my person" :)

I needed to clarify that @@josephpecoul6532
Love all your videos so far mate. These cats are awesome.
Many thanks! BB
extremely clear footage
Thanks, you will be able to select 4K in an hour or so after processed by YT.
Which clan do you think these cats are from?
Oh yeah thunderclan easy.
i beat thats are shadow clan's leader and a loner (yk yk)
I first thought about Thunderclan tho I’m not part of the WC community lol
Since this is in Florida, no doubt shadow clan or RiverClan
Or
Hear me out
These two are Greystripe and Silverstream
Thanks!
Cat colonies get big! Next thing's next you have cat visions and cats coming out of a lake 😭
Little does the new alpha feral male know that she’s setting him up to get jumped by the bobcat mafia.. Stay tuned for next week’s exciting episode of The Young and The Felis!
And they are going to meet in the casino
I hope you keep filming the cats. I miss "my" ferals.
6:10 is that Tinkerbell? lol
That's a Florida-sized 🦟 mosquito! BB
@@MyBackyardBirding Wow that's huge! I live in Central FL and have never seen one that big but maybe its because you're closer to the woods.
Tinkerbells cousin from florida.
Cats getting more action than me 😅
After watching this, the only thing I can think about are the amount of mosquitos
Very cute how he sat like a gentleman when he first met her ^^
As always, Great footage and entertaining!
I believe that the male and female know each other by the way they were interacting.
Seems that way, usually being licked is a submissive gesture unless they're already mates or grew up together.
In Australia, giving feral cats water would be a massive disservice for everyone and a massive middle finger towards the native animals in there.
The middle finger was when these poor cats were brought over to a place they did not belong.
@@DK-hy6hn Sadly, that's a even bigger middle finger to the cats because their owners are negligent with pets
So interesting. They definitely need their habitat protected. Love the little hollow they walk through.
Their habitat? They are domestic. They are considered a invasive species, little animals of the place need their habitat protected of them.
@@bocaraca3814 Oh ok. Why are you replying to my comment?
@@laurah.7696 cause is wrong. I work as volunteer with bird associations and see the damage that they do.
@@bocaraca3814 Yes they are a threat to other animals, but I am watching this channel because I love animals in general. I do not even live anywhere near there. I think you should take it up with the owner of the channel and let him know. If you do not like feral cats then don't watch it.
@@laurah.7696 I simply was surpised over a comentary about protect the "habitat" of a invasive species... If i follow this chanel is for the interactions that we usually dont see
Can the female cats babies have different fathers in the same litter?
Yes
Yes. The female mates with multiple males so that her litter has genetic variety.
the female is close mix to a ragdoll/ persian cat ..... lovely pair 😻
Around the 6:00 spot I think Tinkerbell showed up. 😊
Have you made any TNR attempts to help reduce the population of these guys? The video is very interesting! But cat colonies can get BIG haha
And after a few years they learn the concept of organized society, law and religion
Awesome video 😊
Just by looking at the female and younger male interacting, I feel as though they aren't exactly strangers. Especially because female cats when not receptive to mating tend to be rather aloof.. and I don't she is based on posture. If anything, my bets as to why the two males tolerate each other so well-- and why the younger one immediately greets her with some licks-- tells me not only was he expecting her, but that they are probably related somehow. My bets are on the younger tom being her son, and potentially the older one being his father. This is just what makes sense to me, and might not be the case since this observation is mostly out of context.
thats real warrior cats but with out the matting
Fr
Frr
I’m from the Scottish highlands, on the NW coast near the Isle of Skye. We have proper Scottish wildcats here…..very rare and endangered. There’s a wildlife park about 120 miles from here that has bred them and releases them back into the wild. Nice seeing American cats!
I tried making a multi cat shelter for the almost feral cats in my old neighborhood. It was pathetic and didn't hold up with the winter snow and moisture. Next time I make a shelter I'll make up something like what you've got here. I did leave the cats with a two room dog house that I tried water proofing.
This is pretty cool i always wondered how cats act outside and feral
great footage and voice over. could anyone tell me what that singing in the back is? if it's a bird or a bug, it's beautiful.
Thanks, those are bugs and tree frogs. I agree, they do sound melodious and relaxing. BB
real life Warrior Cats, love it
I know the liking can be a show of dominance, the higer cat grooming the lower one.
I didn’t know feral cats could have a coat like that? Thought they were all stripes and brown/greyish like the tomcat. Except parents or grandparents were kittypets?
Which one is the male and which one is the female
The two males are the ones with the "equipment" as you'll see later. The two tiger-like cats. BB
The female is the longhaired colourpoint one
I wonder if the bigger is half bobcat. It's very good-looking
Where and why do you scatter hay ?
That's natural pine straw.
Wow can't believe this was two years ago.. Wonder what those cats are up to now
I’m struck by the sounds at night. Most unexpected
Its a Jungle out there :-) It quiets down in winter when it gets cold once in awhile! BB
I think they bite because of the stress they faced from the mate ?
Yes. They are naturally solitary, forced together for mating.
Where in Florida is this?
I did not see any mating going on unless I missed it ?
i didn't think about warriors the entire time i watched this and feel oddly left out.
Was wonderful to watch!!
How’d bro know where they would dance and clap?
Holy gerbil, look at them mosquitos.
Wait what’s a YCH-?
The mosquito at 6:00
I'd read and also seen the local unwanted cats (edge of town) how they live. The males leave their first colony and seem to only fight for females. I feel bad when they lose their ladies. Cost one fella an eye.
I assume you supplement their food as they all look healthy.
I love the big feral lady cat ❤ she is so graceful and the new male is sweet/soft on her
6:37 Sorry-I don’t really know much about cats (I only have dogs, lol)…why is the male standing up with his spine arched like that? I always thought that was a sign that they’re aggravated or about to fight, but here it looks like he’s maybe wanting to appear bigger/taller to impress the female?
…am I way off base? 🤣
Hi! He's stretching! :D
So instead of trapping them, spaying/neutering, you film them propagating. Beautiful.

They have all been trapped, treated neutered and put into colonies except the one old timer. So if you love cats you might want to check their story out.
@@MyBackyardBirdingthat’s gross you fixed them. Why even upload this.
@@emilyplaysgamesstuwe5801 Literally cannot please you people, holy hell.
@@JayCares that makes absolutely no sense, you’re not the one who uploaded the video.
What's gross about it??
Must be from Thunder Clan or Shadow Clan
This is technically warrior cats lol
im so high, and no idea how i ended up here. what am i watching?
Interesting. But it's ok to edit out the long stretches.
Thanks, all
Interesting!
There will likely be a rumble in the jungle over the female cat passing in the same area where the two male cats hang out and patrol.
Warrior cats moment:
live footage of sasha and tigerstar
freakin mosquitos buzzing all over the animals, dang.
Good eye, mosquitoes are brutal. Camping in Florida woods in summer or just about anytime - not recommended! BB
why do people hunt feral cats instead of taming them? Kinda sad
Because it's more convenient for those people and they have forgotten that cats didn't start of as domestic pets to us like dogs did.
. They also forgot that humans aren't native fauna either, and neither are our farm animals and crops. We are very hypocritical.
If only human relationships could be made, solved, blossom , with a little pee... 😁
a gentle giant
spectacular!
Doesn't look like these cats have missed too many meals.
Im so confused on the social demographic of feral cats I feel like it’s always different
very interesting
These feral domestic cats destroy wild bird populations and other native animal species. Please people, neuter/spay your cats and keep them indoors. This is not good to allow feral populations to breed like this.
They since been trapped and fixed and moved to a colony. BB
@@MyBackyardBirdingI was just going to comment inquiring about this! GREAT news! I understand that they won't be able to live indoors, but having them spayed/neutered, and now monitored and provided for is such great news 🤗
Warrior Cats in REAL LIFE (NOT CLICKBAIT) 🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️
They are all beautiful cats,maybe had a good home at one time
If you can try to trap the female cat and get her fixed to avoid the kittens from being eaten by the raccoons.
Yes, that's going to be my winter project - kittens have a very low survival rate in wild - I have a place that will take good care of them. All of these feral's are natural and unfixed. BB
@@MyBackyardBirding Excellent thank you.
@@MyBackyardBirding Dont neuter the big male!! Due to natural selection this male has obtained very good genes, if you neuter him he cannot pass them on.
@@MyBackyardBirdingthere’s nothing natural about feral cats.
@@PinkRose93 Cats have never been domestic animals like dogs. They still have strong wild instincts in them. Cats were wild when we found them and then we took the friendliest ones into our homes. The ones we have as pets are not wild natural cats. They are descendants of the ones we have taken fom the wild and selectively bred to live with us. And since we have cats as pets now people have forgotten the true origin of wild cats. The ones that lived in the wild naturally before we intervened with it.
omg all the warriors fan here 😭 y’all still exist??? i used to play WCUE on roblox a TON back in 2019, the whole community was there and we had so much fun doing all sorts of warriors shenanigans, then i left for school and came back in 2023 but the whole game was filled with therians????? and none of them read the books, they were all just doing their own thing, all the warriors people were gone 😭 and they were kinda unfriendly too, that game used to be my happy place 😢 just venting a little, not saying I hate therians or anything but where did my warriors people go 😭
Well, from what I see, the serious fans are back! So get on in here! The more the merrier!
I see more serious rps than non serious ones!
But did our boy get lucky?
6:31 homie what’s dat.. 6:37 IS THAT A MALE!!!! 6:46 oh…oh…it’s a she…hellooo….
5:07 there’s so many mosquitoes
I do not belong in this part of the internet.
Great footage. Now… TNR!!
Trapping is proving to be a challenge.
@@MyBackyardBirding ask local rescue folks. Drop traps do wonders with wize ferals
@@GDeNofa Thanks for the tip, I may end up trying that as the two big toms are wily and a tight fit for my havahart one I'm pretty sure is a Maine Coon and many possums and raccoons will go in trap first. BB
@@MyBackyardBirding I invested in a raccoon larger trap. It helped a huge gray Tom last year. He was NOT a happy camper but he’s much safer now and gets fed every night. but drop traps are a win win if they won’t pad in a trap. Good luck and don’t give up!
@@GDeNofaI hope you have abd luck for the rest of your year.
Hope you have good luck trapping them with the cat nip you spoke of earlier. Feral cats have no place in nature. There are several on my road that I'm going to try to trap. Thanks for the videos
That's going to be my winter project - I have a place that will take in and take good care of the feral cats. BB
Chris Spanks, I would definitely have to disagree totally with your comment. In my community, we have successfully started colonies of feral cats that have been caught & fixed. Then put back in the colony. They are very happy & live outside by choice. They are monitored & received vet care. But mostly they take care of themselves.
@@loriedwards4953 so they are fixed, that's good but most people don't understand the damage they do to wildlife.
@@chrisspanks7750, I have personally rehomed 10 to my 5 acres thru the years. I have 3 males right now. We have about 15 raccoons that come thru to eat every night. They take turns walking me to the bird feeders, they have hundreds of birds & squirrels eating every day. We have deer, fox, groundhogs, coyotes. And yes , even had a couple bears . My oldest actually slapped the bear, he is very jealous. Lol So I don't think wildlife is hurting around here. We have these colonies around town also. They love Walmart, they can find alot of food in the dumpsters.
@@loriedwards4953 It depends on how fragile the ecosystem is where your feral cats live. If it's near a colony of rare bird species or some other group of protected small animal species that fits into a cat's mouth, then the feral cats need to be dealt with. If it's a bunch of feral cats in a city, which doesn't have any rare and/or protected wildlife, then keeping a colony of alley cats out on the streets is not a problem and might actually help with keeping other pests such as rats and mice away.
Warrior cats ahh moment 😭
