The cats catch the old and sickly birds that aren't on their toes/claws anymore. The young, sharp ones don't let cats slip up on them. That also keeps down the disease rates among birds. That's my theory and I'm sticking to it.

Yes, some feral tomcats are a real problem. We had one cat killed by them and another one disappeared (years ago). Some are so vicious they will tear up and/ or kill your pets. We've captured one in a trap and took him for a ride. We've had to kill two that were heavily diseased. But mostly, they just kill each other and we have to keep our pets inside until it's over.

Recently, our neighbor, who was responsible for most of the (unneutered) cats in the area, has had her population die out in the last 8 months or so. Several were killed on the highway and one or two died from cat fights. I hope she doesn't bring anymore home because she doesn't take care of them or feed them properly. The stray we took in came from her bunch. We had her neutered.

We have a well-populated bird feeding station (for years) and the cats will sit out there for a while but they never catch anything. We always run them off after a while so the birds can continue to feed.
