There are those who defy the odds of course. I once rescued a front declawed Siamese on the verge of starvation that navigated through the winters, raccoons and roads quite nicely. No doubt quite content during the years of bowls and water. When I was forced to stop trapping and fixing (evil apartment manager), not so much. Very fortunate our rescue group was able to get the little guy adopted three months later by a PetSmart employee after fortuitously following a neighbor friend home. Cats that consider the outside as part of its territory will not only damage property but harass indoor cats creating untold behavioral, health and anxiety issues for all involved.
Rescuing feral or abandoned cats is a serious business, mostly thankless, but I thank you for it. Quite different, though, from our cats who come and go when they please and always know where their next good meal will come from.
