My girls never go outside without me. We use to have "Mr. Hootie" in the neighbors tree every night, but he must have gone off to find better hunting.
Lots of critters out there that we need to be aware of that's for sure. |
I feel sorry for them, too. Last year, my neighbor was quite happy about a kitty that came to live at their house. They had her spayed, but she was not allowed in the house. She was a mouser. He couldn't figure out what happened to her, but I could imagine. Coyotes! We live outside the city limits in an addition.
Just the other morning before it was really light I saw a coyote run through the very southern part of my lawn and then another. They ran around my neighbor's house and then back in the direction from which they came and they are very fast! It was quickly becoming lighter and I saw three of them running in a meadow about a quarter of a mile west of here.
I tried to run one off with my riding mower when I was mowing after dark (with the headlights on) and I suppose the lights blinded him, but he wasn't scared of the mower at all! He just kept standing there in my yard! Finally, he left. Kacee's fenced yard is just a small portion of the whole yard. I never let her out in it without me being there with her, either.
Another neighbor counted 23 coyotes going through the addition in a pack once.
