I'm pretty sure he is just a stray. We've watched him grow up from the time that he was a little bitty kitten...I almost had him eating out of my hand last summer, when he was only as big as a shoe. His mama cat is feral too, and we see her from time to time, along with at least one other littermate (who visited one night, but hasn't been back since then).
And the way I feel about it, if you don't love your cat enough to collar him, then you don't deserve him! =) He's all ours now...mwa ha ha! But when we can eventually catch him and take him to the vet, we will ask them to scan for a chip--that's a good idea.
Plus, he is a mighty hunter! I watched him catch/eat a bird the other day that was almost as big as he is...and now our backyard is much quieter, since I think the birds are afraid to come back! =)
