how many wild cats are in my area... it has to be a lot.
Just at my house I would guess there are a dozen.... by that I mean by my house, which is in a field. Gotta kind of a jungle out by the road and it's full of wild cats, snakes, skunks, you name it. Almost every night I'm treated to a cat fight outside my bedroom window as the wild cats come in to finish off what our tame outdoor cat leaves behind in his food dish.
We've actually tamed down a few wild cats over the years, very few but a few. NOT as indoor cats but we could pet them.
