Because they want attention!!! You give them food, water, etc. And they want more attention, cause usually people shoo them away. You actually helped them get through a little part of life!!!!! Giving them a little food and water is like a miracle from heaven to a stray cat!! They get so little in life, it's sad!!! When it meows all it wants is love!

How do you get cats out your garden?

I am not so sure. Cats tend to come in back gardens if foxes are there because they are known to scavenge for the fox's food's leftovers, that is one out of a few easy ways cats get food. Cats that come in your garden can be stray or domestic, stray cats normally tend to come in gardens more than domestic because stray cats hardly get fed by people but domestic cats that have good, caring owners get fed twice a day. Try and get the foxes out of your garden; the cats might follow them. If it is your own cats, you could make sure they are getting fed enough.

Do house cats die faster than stray cats?

In almost all cases, no. Stray cats fight for food, that still may not be edable, and get in many fights with other stray cats, and are injured a lot. They sleep on the streets and are almost always cold. A cat that is loved and fed and brushed has a much better life span. They never have to fight and risk being injured for food, and have a nice place to sleep. Some lucky stray cat may live a long time, but it is always going to be a hard life. A pet cat has a much better life.
