We have feral cats that are bigger then my boy and he's 12 Lbs. In winter they look even bigger due to their winter under coat. I don't feed them. Some years back they were living under my deck in the winter, that was my girls hunting grounds, she ended up with fleas in the winter from the cats. I had to put chicken wire around the deck then put lattice to cover ugly chicken wire, no more cats. But poor Cody can't enjoy hunting like my girl did
