We have coyotes too! It scares me to death. I let my big dogs out in the fenced yard but never the little guys. I think they can jump over fences when they are really hungry. We have a den of them across the street from us and we see them all the time.
I actually saved my cat from one when we first moved here 18 months ago. She is an indoor cat but somehow she got out without us knowing and I was watching TV in my bedroom at 9:30 at night when something slammed into the outside door. I went and turned on the light and there in front of me was a coyote with my gray furball of a cat in it's mouth. I opened the door and screamed "NOOOOOOOO" as loud as I could. He ran off and a second later my cat came running back. How she got loose I will never know but I screamed for my family and my daughter opened another door and the cat ran in and to the back of the house up into my son's box spring mattress. She only had one little cut on her lip. The coyote continued to stand there even when I threw rocks at him!! It's really eery!
I worry when my 17 yr old daughter runs because sometimes there are 4 or more together and I think they could attack her. I got her some pepper spray! |
