Feral or Stray kitten. I still don't know the difference....[language thing :brainless: :p]

Wiki: A feral cat (or stray cat, alley cat) is a cat which has been separated from domestication, whether through abandonment, loss, or running away, and becomes wild. The term may also refer to descendants of such cats, but not to wild cats, whose ancestors were never domesticated.

There doesn't really seem to be a difference......

From Metro Animal:

"Feral cats are cats that are second, third or later generation offspring of unaltered strays and free roaming companion cats. When they live together, the group is called a "colony." They are born outdoors and usually are hidden by their mothers; they have little or no human contact in the formative months. Not socialized to humans, they view people as a danger. As they are often nocturnal, you may not be aware of their presence or total colony size. You might be aware of the spraying, nighttime mating, and the strong smell of urine from the intact males. Feral cats are not good candidates for adoption unless someone is willing to spend considerable time with them. Taming feral cats sometimes takes years.

"By contrast, stray cats are companion cats that previously lived in human homes, but now are forced to live on the street. These cats have gotten lost, or been thrown out of their homes or abandoned by their former owners. Once captured or taken in, they can be resocialized."

I think that feral cats are cats that have been BORN in the wild. Stray cats are cats that have been abandoned, but at one point in their lives were owned. You know what I"m trying to say?
