Probably there are more feral cats than dogs. Feral cats are generally smaller and can eat smaller prey. They generally do not frighten people and can live closer to a dependable food source. You have heard of "alley cats," which are feral cats living in alleys. They live on garbage, rats, and handouts. You have never heard of "alley dogs." In areas with freezing areas, there a number of dogs that could be called semi feral. Many Eskimos use (or used to use) Huskies to pull sleds in winter. They would feed those dogs. When spring came, they would release their dogs. The dogs would support themselves in the wild. When fall returned, the dogs would return to work for the Eskimos. In the South, many feral dogs would hook up with a coon hunter in the winter. The two would hunt together so both could eat. Some people drop off animals in the country. People living in the country want dogs bred for watch dogs and hunting dogs. They do not want citified dogs. Those dogs are not taken in. They want cats designed to kill the rodents living in the farm environment, not city cats. The city cats usually make it back to the city. The dogs die.
