Cats become feral (wild) when people quit caring for them, or do not care what happens to them. For example, people often move or leave their cats behind. Or sometimes people let their cats breed and do not pay attention to what happens to the kittens. Some people just drop their cats off somewhere because they do not want the responsibility of taking care of them anymore. The feral cat population is huge.
