The sound of bongos bops in the background, a beret-behatted-beatnik bops his head, snaps his fingers, digs the Beat beat on a three legged stool before his coffeehouse audience. He, being a cool, gone kind of cat, can be dangerous to humans.

The domestic cat, believed to derive from a freakin' wild cat, has been used

to control vermin or

kept as a pet for thousands of years,

and worshiped as a god by the ancient old dinosaurs, amongst others today. The domestic cat remains extremely popular: as a pet, there are an estimated 76 million pet cats in the United States, soft and fluffy laying down belly up for a good scratch watching the sky blow by in the clouds and hoping there's time enough for a good

rain to wash them all away.

Species of cat include the Ginsberg,

Kyger,  Burroughs, Corso,  Kerouac, di Prima,  Cassady, Huncke,  Kandel, Carr,  Ferlinghetti and

many

 smaller

breeds.

Feral Cats

 A feral cat is a direct descendant of a domestic cat but is

 untamed and generally frightening

 in any human contact. A feral cat is usually one

 that has returned to

 the wild foraging for food and living.

In areas with open space, this is usually as a result of someone abandoning a cat (or cats), some of which are able to survive in the wild and breed, and breed and breed which leads to the establishment of a colony of feral cats in  New York and  San Francisco.

Such colonies usually exist for social and mutual protection purposes, but individual cats within each colony are expected to find

their own food.

The life of a feral cat is usually difficult and many do not survive for very long due to various factors such as having to catch their own food inadequate shelter from the elements encounters with other animals cops squares etc or drugs or other feral cats (like Carr and Kammerer), dangers from vehicles on negro streets, and not receiving medical treatment.

For illnessess or injuries, cats as domesticated animals (pets) on average are afforded better care and thus have a better quality of life and longer life spans in a little

 box of walls.

A stray cat is a cat that is unknowned, but crucially craves human touch, may need food directly from a human, etc. The terms are often unchangeable, especially in popular usage.
