Feral cats are the descendants of
domesticated cats that were abandoned by their owners or that strayed into wild areas from their homes. When the domesticated cats mated, their offspring were never handled by or associated with humans, thus making their kittens feral. In
Australia the term feral cat refers to cats living and breeding entirely in the wild. Significant populations of wildlife in Australia, including
marsupials,
reptiles, and
birds, poorly
adapted to this efficient predator, have allowed the establishment of stable populations across most of the country.
