I hope the vultures clean up the debris so they don’t go after the cats.
I attempt to discourage the Black Vultures from hanging around because they, unlike the native Turkey Vulture, er, Buzzard (have they come back to Hinckley?) are known to take live prey, especially smaller critters. Like - cats. Even newborn calves. Wish they had an appetite for Coyote Yukhoe (or if they don't have a fancy for Korean food, Coyote Tartare..) There is a tribe of Wiley's relatives that roams through here on about a two week circuit that needs extreme culling. We think they (the coyotes, not the obama buzzards) may be responsible for the disappearance of The Copy Cat..
The Turkey Buzzard will at least wait till you're dead. Of course, they might sit vigil...
