Welcome from Virginia, kitty lady! There's a whole of lot of animal-lovers on this site. You've come to the best place to learn any and everything quilting. I always thought that a feral cat was a "domestic" cat that lives in the "wild", or otherwise, basically untouched by humans. Bitty kittens learn. My two furry Boyz of the feline purrsuasion, Jesse and Cody, welcome you two!
