that's for a well fed cat. what about feral cats?

most estimates say there are more feral cats than pet cats.

Responses:

(a) i doubt their number and (b) that was an average for all cats from mara's article - Andie Aug 19, 11:24 5
- but they use the same rate for feral cats regardless of the number, and to me common sense says - loosilu Aug 19, 11:27
- and here is an article questioning those numbers. -- (link) - Andie Aug 19, 11:26
- I doubt those numbers too. I can see feral cats killing a lot of birds and their numbers are very large. - Krusty Aug 19, 11:26 2
  - the cat population outnumbers birds of prey, far as I know. -- nm - loosilu Aug 19, 11:28 1
    - You're right and the cats probably kill more per year based solely on their large numbers in the wild. - Krusty Aug 19, 11:35
