The Problem: Where do they live?

Yes there are a lot of feral cats. The amount is an issue, but to understand the full problem one must be knowledgeable about the feral cat lifestyle. The feral cats live in colonies. They are extremely territorial so they defend whatever their homes may be. These could include makeshift shelters such as allies, dumpsters, the back of buildings, etc. These are places that humans occupy, but the feral cats are rarely noticed because again they are fearful. This is one reason as to why humans are unaware of the actual amount of feral cats. This also results in humans not realizing that the issue is closer to home they would expect.
