Are stray cats a problem in Sri Lanka.

While stray dogs are universally prominent everywhere massive feral cat colonies are completely nonexistent in the main outdoor tourist hubs or along the pristine beaches. You might occasionally spot a single deeply shy timid cat hiding quietly near a tiny local fish market or a small guesthouse kitchen but they absolutely vigorously avoid humans entirely. You will not be randomly approached or harassed by them while walking giving you absolutely nothing to worry about regarding your allergies.
