Can a cat survive if it is released?

Cats can survive if they are released, but there is no way to guarantee the survival time, because when cats live in the wild without anyone taking care of them, they need to find food and a place to sleep on their own. During this period, cats may accidentally eat spoiled or poisonous food. Cats can also be infected with parasites or viruses in life, so the life span of cats living in the wild will be greatly shortened.
