Feral Cat

Cat

What is a feral cat? It is an untamed cat born in the wild. A stray cat is not necessarily a feral cat. This cat grows up with no human palpate unlike a stray cat who can have human palpate but is not owned by someone.

Feral Cat

In the United States, a feral cat commonly comes from an abandoned domestic cat's offspring. Owners who have not spayed or neutered a cat may lose or abandon it. Although the parent(s) have had human contact, the offspring will not inherit this exposure. Even the parent(s) in time may revert back to being a wild cat.

Cat

In Australia, a feral cat is a breed that lives in the wild. These cats can be found throughout the country. They are predators to marsupials, reptiles and birds. Australia, New Zealand and any island countries have had problems with large populations of feral cats destroying dissimilar species of wildlife. Some countries tried eliminating them but that led to other animal control problems.

These cats are normally found in groups. Their lifespan is much shorter than a domestic cat because they are prey for larger animals. They can be found in areas of ultimate heat or cold. They play a part in controlling the small animal habitancy especially rodents. Unfortunately, they also feed on birds.

Controlling this habitancy has all the time been a challenge. Some states allow them to be hunted and killed. another technique is to trap, neuter and release the cat. This has been efficient but very time consuming. The Feral Cat Coalition in San Diego has a schedule at no cost to help control this population. Recently seven feral cats were trapped on Saint Nicolas Island in California. Instead of being exterminated, the cats were transferred to an the Animal medical town in El Cajon. The Humane society of the United States, the United States Fish and Wildlife service and the U.S. Navy are working together to try to control this habitancy on the island of over 200 of these cats.

A feral cat can be tamed to live with humans but this is recommended at the young kitten stage. A slow process of 2 to 6 weeks is required to acclimate a feral kitten to humans. Having a adult domestic cat can act as a role model for the kitten. Taming an adult can be done but requires a dissimilar approach. Some feral cats or kittens cannot be tamed based on their temperament. If a cat that cannot be tamed is returned to the wild, it should be spayed or neutered.

A feral cat is a wild animal. It can carry diseases along with rabies. A cat is a prime carrier of a toady called toxoplasmosis. This toady can be very perilous to humans with weakened humane systems. A feral cat because it feeds on raw meat is more apt to have the parasite. If you find one, be very particular and seek pro help on how to cope it. If bitten by a feral cat, see a physician immediately.

Twelve years ago, after he started living on his own, my son adopted a Siamese mix and called him, "Yoda." Although a mix, Yoda has the temperament, large ears, huge blue eyes, and the cute, dark face of a true Siamese. He has also acquired the thermosensitivity of the Siamese's coat coloring. The only part of Yoda that would alert a knowing eye to his iffy bloodline is the slightly rounded shape of his face, as the pure-bred Siamese are known to have elongated faces.

Falling in Unrequited Love with a Siamese Mix: Yoda, the Cat

Falling in Unrequited Love with a Siamese Mix: Yoda, the Cat

Yoda only takes to my son, nobody else. He has gotten used to my daughter-in-law, and just that, because no one can replace his true owner. Although I have taken care of Yoda numerous times and he stays with me every now and then, he barely tolerates me, and that is when he needs fed or asks for a treat.

Knowing the Siamese psychology, I don't blame myself or my cat-sitting skills, but I sort of wish he'd jump on my lap and purr like the tabbies I once owned. Maybe it is the Himalayan gene that the Siamese share with rabbits and mice that makes Yoda hop away from me after his needs are met. This could be also because Yoda's gene memory prevents him from getting on with too many citizen at a time.

In their country of origin, Siam (now called Thailand), the Siamese cats guarded the Buddhist temples and were determined sacred. Their blood lines were vigilantly protected; and the cats were bred as if they were angels sent from heaven. Later on, the Siamese became the cats of royalty, babysitting for the King's children.

Inside the "Cat-Book Poems," a manuscript written in Siam during 1350's, seal-point Siamese looking like Yoda are pictured. Those cats in those old pictures must be the representations of adult Siamese cats, because a Siamese kitten is pure white at birth. Since the Siamese kitten's coat is heat-sensitive, in time, it develops the point color: that is, the points on his tail, paws, and face.

At his industrialized age, Yoda's coat still changes color according to heat. When he stays with us, Yoda demands to be let out to the porch. From behind the screen and the glass doors, this cat loves to watch the golf course, the squirrels, the birds, and the golfers goofing up their swings. When Yoda stays in our house, because he goes on the porch so often, his coat lightens up, giving him a younger look.

For an aged cat, Yoda is also very agile. A few days ago, when a squirrel dared climb on the screen mesh to the roof, Yoda suddenly jumped at it, higher than my height.

Yoda's love of high places must have come down from being of royalty. When alone in the house with me, I normally find him perched on a table or on any other high place as if to rule the world, his kinked tail lively ever so slightly and his large ears alert, watching his environs. Although I don't tell on this transgression of his, the cat still avoids me. I guess, Yoda can't help the way he is, since Siamese are sublime for emotionally attaching to only one owner.

From the time they are kittens, the Siamese design their own loud voice and conversational tone. On the occasions when my son is walking out the front door and leaving his cat with me, Yoda stops evading me to complain of his misfortune with his loud voice, as if he is suffering at the hands of a torturer. In those times, he sounds like a baby in pain.

If you want to adopt a Siamese mix, any states have organizations called Siamese Rescue, but if you want to buy a Siamese kitten, you have to go to a breeder. On the average a Siamese kitten will cost for about 0 if pedigreed, or about 0, if he will only be your pet.

Frankly, I don't care if Yoda is not a purebred. To us, he is royalty and he thinks he is royalty. Still, I wish his highness would give me the some of that a purring affection he exhibits when my son is around.
