It had been after it appeared on the news about the zoo and the dates and the specific animal.
We contacted the state health dept as instructed. It was only 2 or 3 days after. The idiot public health nurse told us to just watch for symptoms and call back if we saw any. She also said the shots were expensive, like 800-1000.
Of course, when you see symptoms it’s too late. You’re dead.
So I guess watching for symptoms was so we could measure her for a coffin.
Called her doctor and he exploded and called someone. Within the hour we got a call back and instructions on where to go. Shots were free of charge.
Thanks.
Sounds like you built them a catio. š±

Yes, we did! Itās lovely! Perfect solution. I think it keeps them young.
My kid messed with a sick bat once. I killed it with a stick but they need a certain part of the brain to test for rabies. I destroyed it with my mashing. He and several neighbor kids had to get the shots. The mumsies were not happy.
There is a shooting range in my town. Which both my wife and I are members. So, I hear shooting from there all the time.
My neighbor to the north has 50 acres. I heard him out shooting some kind of semi auto last Sunday afternoon.
About a hour later another person was shooting a semi auto (8 shots in a row) out behind his house about a half mile away to the west.
Then I heard someone up at the range shooting what sounded like a larger caliber rifle. I can usually tell by the direction to the range form my house. It is about 2 miles away and up hill in elevation.
This was all in a 3 hour period.
You and your cat are very fortunate!
A friend heard something in the early evening, looked out to see a coyote on his small ~20lb dog.
Grabbed a nearby shovel and had to hammer the coyote to make it let go!
The dog survived!!!
The dog had HUNDREDS OF STITCHES! And was shaved mostly bald in the process.
In our neighbors yard about 5 years ago. We sent it to the Iowa extension office because we were speculating it was a wolf hybrid but they said based on the picture, it was just a healthy one.
This is why you kill every coyote you can every chance you get. It makes them skittish around people and they take their business somewhere else. It’s when they get habituated to humans that they’re bound to cause trouble.
Iāll say! The ones we saw were healthy enough that year. Iāve seen them much skinnier in the harder winters.
I met some neighbors at the other end of the neighborhood over last weekend, and they back up to woods like we do. The wife complained about the coyotes howling the night before. I told her I heard them, too, but I donāt worry anymore because of our ācatioā. I showed her this photo, and then photos of the catio. She was very interested. Itās been a lifesaver for me, and our 2 cats!
Yes, we are very fortunate!
When we first moved here, I learned quickly about the coyotes that hang out. A few weeks after I heard the coyotes yipping and carrying on one night, I went out by our creek. I saw a bunch of white fluff and moved closer to check it out. Then I saw a rib cage and two hooves. That was all that was left off a white tailed deer. The pack mustāve surrounded the poor animal. Maybe it was injured or something, it was no match for a pack of coyotes.
I thought coyotes only came out at night, but in that photo, you can see plainly that it was daylight already, and it had been for at least 2 hours when I spotted them. I had thought that if our cats werenāt out at night, they would be safe. Nope.
Our current house backs up to a pasture and we see them once in a while but I’ve recognized 3-4 individual ones but nothing to the size of the pic I posted. We have a yellow lab but they never seem to be interested in him.
That one was a very healthy coyote. He hadnāt missed too many meals.
The neighborhood with the healthy coyote was next to a highway so there was always roadkill around. The neighbor speculated the deer had been hit but made it to their property and died. We had a couple die in our yard but we always had them removed.
