No. Stray cats, still looking to humans for food and shelter, are domestic animals that are currently away from their homes. Feral cats, who have reverted to wild habits, generally still retain some habits of domestication and may not be suited to life in the wild. (For instance, a Persian who goes stray likely will not be able to care for himself even after he has regained the habits of a hunter; he will be trapped by his over-long fur and hindered by his deformed nasal passages.) As a general rule, animals which humans have domesticated, have been changed enough in their abilities that they no longer qualify as wildlife.

Why are feral cats bad?
Feral cats, while not "bad", can become a nuisance if they are allowed to breed unchecked and can develop very large colonies. Feral cat colonies can be found in many countries, and are often found in urban areas as it is easier to find food there. While many feral cats are wary of humans and tend to keep their distance, there is a problem with never knowing what infections or viruses a cat may be carrying, such as rabies. This can also be a problem with other cats, also. Some virus can be spread to other non-vaccinated cats, whether feral or domestic pets. However, some places have developed schemes which catches feral cats in order to neuter, vaccinate, and generally check the health of the cat. These keep the populations in check, and ensure that the cats are generally healthy and are unlikely to pass any illness onto another cat or person.

What is a stray dog?
A stray dog is a feral (abandoned or escaped) animal. They will often end up as scavengers, and not being able to find sufficient food will cause the body to waste away causing them to look "thin". The thinness will also depend on the amount of time the dog has been feral, but if their food intake is sufficient enough they may not appear as thin (or thin at all). But the thin appearance may be the cause of disease, for example. a human being who has contracted AIDS thus causing the body to waste away over time (which is known in Africa as "the thin disease").
