How many are there in the world?
What percentage are feral?
How does population correlate with human fertility (children per mother)?
Any signs of population explosions?
How much food do they consume?
Any countries without any?
How many are there in the world? Quite a few.
What percentage are feral? It’d be high, be up there.
How does population correlate with human fertility (children per mother)? Quite a bit higher I’d say.
Any signs of population explosions? No sign here.
How much food do they consume? Heaps.
Any countries without any? No countries as such, there were some on Antarctica but they were taken off because of environ mental concerns and replaced with fossil fuel devices.

Well there are at least as many feral cats in Australia as there are people. maybe a lot more.

Depends on what you mean by ‘feral’, too.
I’ve seen lots of village dogs that were really quite domesticated, but owned by no-one in particular.

Yes there are cats that get fed at a dozen households and even then stay out all hours eating wildlife for fun and pleasure rather than hunger.

Cats and dogs.
Datsun cogs.
“The Ecology Global Network estimates that there are about 600 million small cats in the world. This includes pets, strays, homeless and feral cats. The wild cats alone number about 100 million.”
“Some estimates are as high as 9.8 billion felines, others are more reserved at 400 million. Both estimates are in regard to domesticated household cats.”
The human population is currently 7.2 billion.

“Globally, it is estimated that there are 100 million or more feral cats with at least 60 million living in the US alone, 12 million in Australia and one million in Britain.”
I find it hard to believe that the USA has more than half the world number of feral cats. I’d expect more through parts of Asia.
Fair-Isle cats.
One possible country without cats is the Seychelles. There has been a feral cat eradication there. Other cat eradications have been on islands owned by larger nations. No. Cats have only been removed from four islands in the Seychelles, and not the largest islands.
