    I suppose you mean European Wildcat? (Felis silvestris)

    Well its hard to give exact numbers, they are pretty widespread at the moment, and are listed as least concern. Here is the range map from the IUCN red list site, its really accurate:

    And the main page if you want more information:

    If you mean feral cats, as in pets that have escaped and bred, they are really common.

    Elaborate….FERAL cats or a wild SPECIES of feline?
    Feral cats are,unfortunately,far too common everywhere.
