Our Wild World

We’re not talking about the furry loveable housecat. There are currently an estimated 30-40 million cats in the US alone, living in our neighborhoods, our wildlands and in their own communities. With Dr. John Hadidian and Katie Lisnik of the Humane Society of the US we’re talking about the cats that are not owned, live in your community, and are feral, and what the differences are. A stray cat is a pet who has been lost or abandoned, used to contact with people and tame enough to be adopted. A feral cat is the offspring of stray or feral cats and is not accustomed to human contact, we often see them everyday, but don’t know they are feral. From the community cat to the feral cat, there is an interesting history and quite a story. And then there are the impacts all these cats have on our wildlife and environs, and what we can do about it. Learn More http://www.humanesociety.org/issues/feral_cats/qa/feral_cat_FAQs.html
