Domestic Cat (Felis catus)Observer
biohemianDescription
There were at least 10 feral cats at this location. They were congregated openly around this pavilion which makes me think someone is unfortunately feeding this colony. Nowhere near any homes, and unfortunately this location is extra birdy due to the presence of water, many trees, and good habitat.
