It's possible, but he was in a group of 3-4 other cats that were definitely feral. His ear was notched which is a sign he was captured and neutered and then returned to where they caught him. We started leaving food out for him some distance from the house and then moved it closer and closer. He disappeared for a time, almost a month, then he returned for keeps. He was very aware of Coyotes and would alert us whenever one was near. The Vet said he was about 3-5 years old when he showed up. He was starving because he couldn't hunt at all! His diet was ants and other bugs....even after he was eating in the house he would go outside and eat ants. Took a long time before he stopped that habit.
We recently adopted a rescue cat from Petco a month ago. Her name is Molly and is about 1 year old and she all ready is well into training us!
