Is this cat a pet? Lost? Abandoned? Feral? Can't tell?
Of course not. All of these adjectives describe one species: Felis catus. A “feral” cat is usually the offspring of a lost or abandoned cat. A feral cat is unsocialized to humans, and fears and avoids contact with them. Other commonly used terms for "feral cat" include alley cat, barn cat, and street cat. All are members of the domestic species Felis catus. Recent scientific research places the emergence of this domestic species at 8,000-10,000 years ago.
