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.

@Reyn,
Thank you! That clears thing up nicely.
