Cat closes his eyes against the photographer, shot at heritage park, Abu Dhabi, by Manoj Attingal

A cat/dog born and raised in the wild, or who has been abandoned or lost and reverted to wild ways in order to survive, is considered a free roaming or feral cat/dog. While some feral cats and dogs tolerate a bit of human contact, most are too fearful and wild to be handled. Feral cats often live in groups, called colonies, and take refuge wherever they can find food-rodents and other small animals and garbage. They will also try to seek out abandoned buildings, deserted cars, even dig holes in the ground to keep warm in cold months and cool during the summer heat.
