I live on the edge of a nature preserve. One early morning about 2:00am, I was awakened by what sounded like cats fighting. I jumped out of bed and bolted to my bedroom window to see what was up. I looked out and saw a coyote right in front of my window with a neighbors black cat in its mouth flinging it back and forth. Blood and black hair was allover the coyotes face. I opened the window and started yelling at it. It ran away, but it was too late for the cat.
You know, its one thing to see these kind of things on the nature channel, but when happens at 2:00 in the morning and right in front of your bedroom window, it is a little disturbing.
