What do feral cats eat?

Wild cats generally eat mice, cockroaches, flies, mosquitoes, insects, leftovers, vegetables, fruits, bark, roots, weeds and other food. Some very hungry cats will even eat dirt. Wild cats have very strong survivability and are not picky eaters and will eat most food.

Tip:

If you see a wild cat, you can feed it some leftovers, cat food, sausages and other food to help the wild cat reduce its hunger.
