Feral vs. Stray Cat: How to Tell Them Apart
Many people mix up feral and stray cats, but they differ in history, behavior, looks, bond with people, and adaptability. A stray was once a pet, abandoned or lost, and lives near homes and people, so it often trusts humans and approaches for food. A feral cat was born and raised wild with little human contact, stays far from neighborhoods, hunts on its own, and is wary or aggressive toward people. Appearance alone is unreliable, both can look thin with rough coats, but strays may seem more eager to return to a home. Because ferals are hard to tame and can be aggressive, approach or adopt them with caution.
