Alley cat
1 answer
An alley cat is a term used to describe a domestic cat that lives primarily outdoors, often in urban areas, and is not under the direct care of a specific owner. These cats typically scavenge for food, often finding sustenance in alleys or garbage bins. Alley cats are often considered stray or feral cats, as they have little to no human interaction or care. They may form small colonies with other alley cats and are known for their elusive behavior and ability to survive in urban environments. Alley cat populations can sometimes become a concern, as they can create issues with public health and wildlife.
