That is basically where all of our cats have come from, the streets around our house. We also have one that I no longer refer to as a stray, he is just Bubs, our outside cat. He lives in our garage in really bad weather, has a bed in there, and knows he will get food when he needs it. We have been feeding him for almost 8 years (I think) but he wants no part of being pet....the funny thing is that he will eat chicken/beef/salmon right from my fingers....
