Saw a show once where they went searching for city yotes- they went near a park, and r3corded the howls and yips from a good number of coyotes living right on edge of city. I suppose the garbage situation, plus the abundance of rats draws them in.
I worked on small bison ranch, and when. They had calves, the coyotes would show up and try to kill the claves- efen during daylight hours- but mostly at night- they never did manage to get any- shot one, another died of mange near the corral, likely trying to “get an easy meal” but finding out bison aren’t pushover lol
Foxes love cats I’m told. Might been a fox, or another cat (male cats will fight for territory and can kill their competitors. Had a family cat, male, got in fight, b got castrated, and crawled up under hood of camper and died we foundit later, and it looked like it had been through hell and back.
I learned that there is a stoat living in the stream behind the house I bought, the month after kitty vanished.
Methinks kitty became stoat food, since I was staying within sight of this house.
Yep,could well be- stoats are viscious little critters.
