Rare look at wild feral cat territory and courtship interactions as a prelude to mating. These are true feral cats, descended from feral cats. Their behavior is not necessarily typical of habituated animals feeding around houses and people. This is their world.

I used to set out food for one male cat that I thought the last tenant left behind. (They didn't and he never tried coming inside.) He brought a young female with him and let her eat his food. Wasn't long before I noticed she was growing. The next time he did this, I nabbed her just before she had the babies. A friend took them all out to a farm property. Had to end the cycle. He died before he could have a 3rd round. They have a rough life.

Cats are very interesting when they are in heat or mating. My girls got fixed a little bit after the boys so I go to see quite a bit of attempted sexy time. Each male cat has his own style of doing business. One like to give lots of kisses, the other is kind of a bumbling boy, the other is rough and tumble. The girls too are totally different. One is demanding and wild, the other is in her own world (she lays on her side and swims in a cirle like she is doing water ballet. It's funny because the concept is that animals do their business all the same and no big deal. Not true.

Well all "Mammals" group species have a frontal lobe. Even little or big that part of the brain regulates personalitys and likes/dislikes. Even tiny rats with a brain small as a coin and a frontal lobe as small as a peppercorn can have their own style of doing stuff.

Normally I wouldn’t give these guys the time of day but I’m getting older , I’m ready to settle down now start a family. A couple of the scents I picked up near the Palmetto got me very interested. That’s when Rocky was sitting there staring at me with those sweet hazel eyes of his. He’s a Taurus and I’m a Virgo, things are looking good for us ❤ I gotta go now.

Then put back in the colony. They are very happy & live outside by choice. They are monitored & received vet care. But mostly they take care of themselves.

@@loriedwards4953 It depends on how fragile the ecosystem is where your feral cats live. If it's near a colony of rare bird species or some other group of protected small animal species that fits into a cat's mouth, then the feral cats need to be dealt with. If it's a bunch of feral cats in a city, which doesn't have any rare and/or protected wildlife, then keeping a colony of alley cats out on the streets is not a problem and might actually help with keeping other pests such as rats and mice away.
