I think international would be better, since feral cats are a fact of life in countries across the globe.

Wherever you live, the 16th of October, and actually any other day of the year, is a good time to think about the plight of those often misunderstood felines. At TheCatSite.com, we are committed to spreading the word about feral cats and how to take care of them. These are not wild animals – they are domesitcated cats that went feral, and they need our help.

Those often misunderstood felines share the exact same genetic makeup as our precious pet cats. They are not wild animals. I have always felt that we, as human beings, share a collective responsibility towards their fate. Feral cats are domesticated animals which due to irresponsible cat owners in the past have lost the much needed protection and compassion of human care givers. It is up to us, as cat lovers, to take notice of them, and take action too. You can read more of my thoughts about ferals, what they are and how you can help them in an article published long ago on our site -
