Thank you, you have helped clarify the mutable definitions surrounding cats' welfare. I've cared for my "feral" colony since Nov 2008. One of my abandoned pets has come from free-roaming and terrified of humans to a kissy-face chest-sleeping love bug. One of my "born free" ferals (now living indoors) now looks forward to nightly cuddlin' time, and another feral born rolls with pleasure when she greets me in the alley. It has been a journey for all of us.
