would this be good for feral cat bedding?

Absolutely! Wheat straw is THE thing to use for feral cats. Oat straw, hay, paper rabbit bedding material all get mildew and don't dry. Wheat straw is the only product that is safe for a feral colony. And since I just started using this brand, I can say it's very tightly packed and very clean. Competitors I've purchased it the past, not so much. Buy this, you'll be pleased.

Can i pull the straw apart to place in a plastic bin to keep a feral cat warm?

It's a "lifetime" supply of straw and you'll need to snip the cords holding the bale together, but yes you can use it as bedding for a feral cat house. That's how I use it in addition to using it as a mulch in summers for my vegetable garden. All the loose straw I subsequently ended up with is stored in my garage in large black bags.

Would these be good for decorations for a wedding?

They might present a fire hazard. Unless the wedding is outside like in a barnyard setting or something. These bales are good sized but quite dry

How many pounds is the smaller bale?

I purchased one of each size and the large weighed about 32 lbs. I'm thinking the medium one weighed around 20 lbs. Its really good quality as well. I don't think you'll be dissapointed.
