We do know this: In areas where feral cat populations exist, they are often well established. On an island, the feral Cat eats all of those birds. We estimate that free-ranging domestic cats kill 1.4–3.7

The other day, Minneapolis, Minnesota passed a feral cat ordinance. So I put together a “carnival” (of sorts) of Feral Cat Ordinances and Issues that samples current events across the US. From the Star Tribune : Feral cats win a round at Minneapolis City Hall. Those who violate the ordinance can be fined $200.
