Well most street cats are REALLY hungry and will eat almost anything! But for their health this is what I would recommend:

1- If you have a cat you could give it some of your cat food.

2- Any kind of meat, cooked or raw. Be sure there is no seasoning on the meat.

3- Water.

Do not give cats milk (can make cats sick, plus milk goes off very quickly), bread or cooked bones.

Food, they like rodents, cats are good way to control rodent populations on farms. Male cats are always looking for a female cat "in heat". Feral cat colonies need a source of food.

If you do i would be careful they could bite you. Make sure it's something that isn't bad for the cat. Feed it tuna or cat food, that would be best.

Feral cat is unsocialized domestic cat. Feral Cats looks like pet cats. Feral cats are born outdoors, and they live outdoors. Feral cats are noctural.

How long after you stop feeding feral cats will they go away?

You should definitely, stop feeding the cat...unless you want to own another cat!Usually it is not good to feed feral cats for fear of rabies, ticks and fleas. (BAD fleas) However, you can take the cat to the Doctor and see if has rabies or ear mites, ETC. Good Luck!AnotherActually, the biggest mistake was to feed them in the first place. like Javalinas, once you feed them, they don't go away. If you can make it through howling and screeching outside your door all day for a month, okay. Also if you feed just one cat, it can bring the whole clan next time because feral cats travel in groups for nursing and protection.If you want them to leave do not feed them in the first place!
