		<description><![CDATA[Chances are you have seen homeless cats (called ferals) roaming your neighborhood. You may even be feeding them. If so, you are not alone. All over Austin, the country, and in cities around the world people have become attached to these wild creatures. Feral cats are born wild, have never been a pet, and cannot be tamed after they mature. Colonies develop when an unsterilized pet cat is left behind after a move and begins breeding with other cats, both wild and tame. The kittens, having no human interaction, are wild feral cats. They breed and so the cycle begins. It is estimated there are roughly 150,000 feral cats living in Austin.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Many studies have shown that cats do not have a detrimental impact on wildlife on continents. However, many people still feel that cats are to blame for the depletion of songbirds and other animals. Two studies most often quoted to support placing blame on feral cats are the Stanley Temple study and the Churcher/Lawton study. Some individuals and groups use these studies in misguided efforts to discredit Alley Cat Allies’ and others work to humanely control feral cats. However, over sixty studies on feral cats have been written from different continents throughout the world...]]></description>

They're free-roaming cats, and they inspire a lot different feelings—anger, fear, sadness, maybe even guilt. But they should also inspire something else: action.]]></description>
