A stray cat may just be a cat which wanders outside all the time. A feral cat is a cat that isn't used to being around humans and may be terrified around them or violent. Stray cats usually aren't violent or terrified of people.

Is your stray cat a feral cat?

Chances are that it may be, however there is a big possibility that it might not be a stray. For example, cats wander off to find prey, to find a partner or to join another colony of cats (for it is their natural thing to do) so it may not be stray. If there are cats in the woodlands or forests, it is likely for them to be feral. Big cats come from the wild, so there is not much difference when it comes to domestic cats.
