but (LOL-there's always a but) I know that in my area, there are wild cats that closer in size to domestic cats rather than big cats

a secretary that I used to work with adopted a feral cat in San Francisco; he was a bit larger than a normal domestic cat

she found out that he was a hybrid-offspring of a feral and a wild cat

I agree that cats should be kept inside due to the threats to them

I think that smaller cats would have eventually made their way into the US even without human help; animals are amazing that way

I was just reading something that said cats may play a factor in bird decline but in many areas, they're a non-factor
