the feral mission statement:- a bird's eye view ! (humor)

[Guest guest]

Now you have gone and done it!!! Much too visual for me....LOL...all I can

see now is all of us as feral little birds trying to fit into one bird bath

and kicking each other out of the way. As for roosting I can picture us

sitting on our little eggs trying to keep Shawn trying to get an egg for

himself. I am not good at sharing though. Pt, by the use of the term " feral "

does that mean " wild " by the way?

Well, I don't know exactly, but I do volunteer work for Feral Cats of

Oregon, and our working definition for a true feral cat is that it is a cat

born out in the wild (so to speak) that has never had a human family (so to

speak). They are rarely, and I mean rarely, capable of being tamed unless

they are brought in while still babies, very small ones. The cats that were

domesticated and lived with humans and then for one reason or another freed

(runaway, lost, dumped) are capable very often of being re-socialized and

adoptable. The grown feral cat is almost never adoptable as it is totally

resistant to being socialized and will react feral to situations and is

unpredictable. So that is where I get my definition of feral....
