I don't play with feral cats. Cats can and do carry rabies, albeit it's not common in the states. I live in a very rural area and they're as bad as rats as far as I'm concerned. Several inhabit an abandoned barn about a quarter mile away and occasionally stray to my place. The ones that do come around are fairly vicious if cornered (my dogs have had several opportunities to find this out) and offer nothing of value save for marking their territory around my house. Luckily my dogs are usually able to take care of them and I just have to get rid of the remains.
