How long does it take an abandoned cat to go feral? Months? Years?

@Tomkitten,
An abandoned cat is not considered a feral cat. The offspring of that cat would be.

Quote:
A feral cat is a descendant of a domesticated cat that has returned to the wild. It is distinguished from a stray cat, which is a pet cat that has been lost or abandoned, while feral cats are born in the wild; the offspring of a stray cat can be considered feral if born in the wild.
