Some from me. Everything is fair game to be laid upon by my cats. Felix taking over my book. And yesterday morning I walked past the bedroom and caught this snuggle-fest with Felix and Frankie. The ferals don’t understand the concept of personal space when it comes to their best buddy Felix. He graciously tolerates this behaviour.

Feral? Most probably no.
Stray? Probably yes.
Feral and stray cats can sometimes be difficult to tell apart, but there are distinct differences. Stray cats can readjust to living with people and can be adopted as companions. Adult feral cats are not socialized to people, which means they cannot be adopted. Feral kittens can be when caught in time.
I have taken in many stray cats. Several veterinarians explained the difference between ferals and strays. Interesting subject.

Thank you for the clarification Rainy, however I am perfectly aware of my cat situation and the difference between ferals and strays. I discovered a litter of kittens while walking home one day who lived in a dilapidated garage in downtown Ottawa. They were feral and terrified of humans and only after a few months did they let me go near them. After many months of no one doing anything about this I trapped them and took them home, where I spent many MANY hours trying to socialize them. 3 or 4 years later and I cannot pick them up for fear I’ll lose an eye and one of them spends 95% of her day hiding in the rafters of my basement and only comes out to hang out in the catio if the house is quiet or for food.
