🐾 “Not feral” (the hissing cat)

A cat that hisses, growls, or swats but does not flee when approached is often:

A socialized or formerly owned cat who feels cornered or threatened,

Reacting defensively in a space they consider theirs,

Communicating fear or anger rather than true wild avoidance.

These cats are often used to human contact and stand their ground rather than hiding.

🌾 “Feral” (the hiding cat)

True feral cats, by contrast:

Avoid humans entirely, often fleeing long before a person gets close,

Are rarely seen during the day,

Freeze, bolt, or climb out of reach when confronted — not hiss and fight.

They conserve energy by avoiding confrontation instead of engaging.

✅ Summary

So the meme’s message is accurate:

Feral cats hide. Socialized or stray cats fight or bluff.

This distinction is well recognized by organizations like Alley Cat Allies and the ASPCA when identifying whether a cat is feral or simply frightened.

Ode to Fiona
In the hush of evening’s amber glow,
Fiona dreams where warm fur flows.
A queen of quiet, soft and wise,
Wrapped in years and velvet sighs.

The world slows down where she has lain,
Her breath—like autumn’s gentle rain.
Old girl of grace, your purrs still weave,
A tender peace we can’t conceive. Helyn Cornille.

The animated feature Flow didn’t just walk away with an Oscar—it sparked an unexpected social ripple. Its tale of a black cat navigating a ruined world hit audiences so strongly that shelters across the country began reporting a sudden rise in black cat adoptions. Historically, these animals have struggled to find homes because of superstition and bias, but the film’s resonance helped flip that narrative almost overnight.

One striking example came from Laredo, Texas, where the nonprofit Best Friends for Life hosted a screening with real rescue cats in attendance, turning a cinematic moment into an adoption drive. The wave of interest underscores how storytelling can shift deep-rooted cultural attitudes, proving that film can do more than entertain—it can rewrite the odds for those left behind.

Catville Sanctuary

We have rescued many feral cats and built them a catio addition to the guesthouse. We have plastic slats on windows which keeps heat,cold and bugs out but cats can walk thru them.We call this home Catville. We have old ones, deaf, missing teeth, young ones hand raised all taken to vets to be fixed and shots. Some have had severe health problems one almost lost an eye off to UGA vet hospital had surgery and now she can see! We continue to work on Catville inside and outside to keep their environment entertaining and safe for them. They are healthy, happy and much loved. We also have a lovely chicken garden keeping in mind environment for them to be healthy and happy. We will keep posting updates and hope to show each and every cat on this page. Enjoy. We hope this brings inspiration to others to help feral cats. Check out the videos!

The design of Catville catio. We have the layout of rails so they can go under over other cats to get away if needed. They can hide in plants (or play and rearrange) to get away from a stronger personality (Misha lol) Some cats (younger ones) like to jump down from high up..others need steps and everywhere different ways to go over under each other. Also, have a plastic tunnel have seen many cats escape another cat ..mostly in play...and you see the "where did he go?!! So design is to minimize conflicts. It is really a very peaceful place for them and us. You never realize (unless a nighttime hunt) how many cats live here. Some in bedroom napping or eating, some in the living room, others outside in the large area. It is a paradise with more to do to improve. The little cat houses some use if rains and do not want to go inside..some nap..but also the main thing is to be on top jumping from one to another. Also, shade during hot summers all thru day different areas has shade with the little houses. I am going to try a hammock in a few of the houses to see if enjoyed, We have two windows bedroom and kitchen that are open with plastic slats that keep out heat or cold and bugs that they walk through to go to the catio.

I think is important to mention, we do not add any more cats to Catville. We do feed more ferals that have found us in the garage and have heated outdoor houses for them to use. We will catch, have them fixed shots etc and release. It is important to keep the quality of life and environment safe for our Catville family. We will never overcrowd. I would like to see more people involved in helping ferals. They need much support. I am so happy so many enjoying the heart of Catville.
