Oh, that's a precious kitty!
Watch your local news for any word of coyote, racoon or opossum sightings. Cats and dogs as large as beagles are favorite meals for coyotes. Raccoons carry rabies and opossum are ferocious when defending turf or babies.
Cats are smart but coyotes work in pairs and sadly have outwitted and dined on some of the smartest, most ferocious pet cats and dogs in our area for years.
When local authorities warn people not to feed coyotes, with the exception of a few crazy people who left dog food out for the coyotes, Wildlife Control officials are asking people to keep their pet dogs and cats inside, and to walk their dogs only on a leash.
We live on the Big island of Hawaii. Wild pigs about the only danger, and no way they catch a cat. Mongoose too small. No rabies here either. Draconian laws about bringing pets in give you headache about that.
Cars and loose dogs, but our cats are not allowed even off the tile or pool deck in back. Hell to pay if they sneak off on the grass when we are not looking.
Hawaii is so cat friendly, there is a large feral cat problem. No predators, so they breed freely. And starve, get sick, etc. A lot of spay and neuter after trapping goes on.
We have two semi-feral boys that hang out on our property and earn their keep by killing rats.
