Ah, I'm sorry about that. I've heard so many lousy rotten coyote stories about people losing their pets to them.

I also understand those folks who respect and admire the coyote, but I'm just not one of them. Wasn't too long ago that there was one running down the street with half a cat in it's mouth. I'd chase it down with my truck and get even with it right there if it were my cat it grabbed.

So, snakes of all kinds get a reprieve from me... But if it came down to me dealing with coyotes, they get blasted and that's final.

Anyway, sounds like you folks need to hire a new cat. :)

Thanks for your kind words.

Yeah, we'll probably get a new cat when our two old ones pass on.

I want a mountian lion, to take care of this ongoing coyote problem... ;)

Now I'm off to bed. Regards!

I have no respect or admiration for coyotes, I try kill everyone of them I see. When I first took over the production on the big ranch I killed 42 the first year. Rattlers, hog’s and coyotes are shot on sight.

I'm a live and let live guy with rattlesnakes. Coyotes? If the chance arises, I'll kill them. If you don't kill them from time to time, they lose their fear and are not pleasant.

About 10 years ago, on Edwards AFB, 6 coyotes stalked my daughter while she was walking our Border Collie. Both she and Leila knew full well they were being stalked, but between them they presented enough of a danger to the coyotes that there was no attack - and after 10 tense minutes, they made it back inside the family housing area.
