This is why I am against feeding wild cats (usually by well-intentioned people). They are ruthless predators and enough of them are around.
Cats can slaughter bird colonies (though somehow they never slaughter the ugly pigeons, nor the invasive parrots in the area I live in) so they are best left to themselves instead of going the "beautiful kitty that is starving" way and artificially growing their population.
Finally, I have a stray/rescue cat at home that stays at home (not interested in going outside), just in case someone though I was promoting the dog league.

Wouldn't feeding them reduce the amount they need to kill to feed themselves? I know of at least one cat colony that has a caretaker that feeds them, they have all been catch and release spayed/neutered so the colony can't grow. They try to get adoptions for some of them but the only other alternative is to kill them.
- BrandoElFollito 3y agoCats will kill for the "pleasure", not only for food. They would then leave the corpse behind after baking played with the victim before. We must not perceived them through our errors, it is not that they are psychopaths or something, this is just the way they are. It would not be a problem if they were not artificially sustained through our help. Sterilization is a good solution (in addition to not feeding them).
