Answer

Is it a bad idea to feed stray cats in Mallorca?

Feeding stray cats out of compassion is understandable, but unregulated feeding can create larger colonies over time. It may also attract rats if food is left out unsafely or not cleaned up properly. In Mallorca, feeding is most useful when it is coordinated and tied to sterilisation and hygiene rules.
