The folks live in a very rural area. They have “barn cats” which is just a nice name for a feral colony. The population is fairly indeterminate but you can observe the seasonal and yearly changes in the colony size depending on available prey. It’s an interesting thing to watch. The colony has always been a matriarchy. Males are ejected around the time they become sexually active. When the “queen” goes in to heat so do all of the other females at which time they allow a roaming male to join the colony for a week or two. It’s like a back porch wildlife series.
