Just morbid curiosity. I’ve had neighbors whose cat escaped before. And now I hear stray cats meowing in the middle of the night, screaming and fighting with other cats, and I just got curious… what if one of them is my neighbor’s cat? 🤔 (hopefully not)

I mean, I would think that cats who get regulary fed should have a better chance? But then, they never had a fight before so they would never have experience…

Like, I imagine this scenario is equvalent of a human getting lost and then there is a homeless person who wants to fight you (not that they would, just an example). I think a person who’ve had proper food is gonna win against a homeless person. So with this logic, the indoor cat should win against the stray/feral cat? Am I right?

    A couple that lived near me had a little thai cat, a sweet of an animal. They would let the cat out daily.

    At some point, they just decided to leave the country and abandoned the cat.

    The creature became the neighbourhood boss. Killed several males in fights, some even larger, fought off dogs, became a ferouscious hunter and never agaim entered a house.

    That cat was king of the street for three years until one of his own blood dethrowned him.

      Damn, this sounds so badass and yet so sad at the same time.

      I don’t know how someone could abandon a cat.

      Like I could never abandon a pet that I claimed. Once I made the claim, that’s mine forever.
