I think that this is an excellent discription of the difference beetween a stray cat and a feral cat. The only thing where I look at this different is that a stry cat is not necessarily one that was born outside. It might have been born outside , but often a stray cat is simply someone's pet cat that got lost, ran away, or the people moved away and left the cat. Somtims people rnt a place and then find out that they aree not going to be able to kep their pet, or they just don't have enough extra money to pay for the expensive pet deposit. They may try to find the cat a home, but the cat doesn't like th new home, and runs off; or some people just move, leaving their cat and thinking that it can "fend for itself".
Or sometimes a person discovers their cat is going to have kittens, and drops them off somewhere. None of this is a good way to treat your cat, but it happens.
When that cat has kittens, then the kittens might end up as feral cats if no one finds and adopts the mother and the kittens.
