At home we have an adopted feral cat who over years became friendly and will now come in the house to eat.

However the barn is used by a pair of a feral cats obtained by a neighbour from a local rescue. They spend their time sleeping on the hay bales and although our neighbour feeds them we also put out dry food and water. They won’t come within 5 yards despite seeing us daily over a number of years.

They don’t seem to have much impact on the local rats.

Maybe they're too well fed?
