When I go to visit my daughter...I sit out on the screened deaks often at night and hear the pack of coyotes call. It is very hard to keep some of her kitties in as they LOVE to go out.
She has lost 2 kitties this past year so she watches them like a hawk when in the yard.(unfenced as she lives on a golf course surrounded by hills and woods.) My SIL has a leash for the biggest wanderer.
Night owl that I am, I step outside pretty often during the night. If a pack is close by, I can hear them yip at each other. Trains going by will set them howling because they don’t like the sound of the train horns. Fortunately, they aren’t close to the farm most of the time.
Even on cold nights, the outside cats get antsy to go back out and get on our nerves at times with their whining. They’re like little kids. They think if they bug us enough, we’ll let them out just to have a little peace. But it doesn’t work. Momma makes the rules. LOL! If it’s warm enough, I let them out when I go to bed in the morning.
Farmers in the area are working hard to eradicate the coyotes. Too many lose livestock to them each year and that’s money out of their pockets.
There’s a place for everything but coyotes aren’t welcome in farm country. And they certainly aren’t welcome here.
