Come on, Tim. You can't allow your cat to dictate where you live. And
moreover, coyotes are moving into areas that they did not previously inhabit, including inner suburbs of Washington DC for example. I will be moving to the country in Western New York. I have no choice. I fear that my Jaws will be taken by a coyote. I can try to keep him inside, but he like to be out at night. Maybe the completely new environment will make him prefer to stay indoors. And my mother's cat is living up there outside full time right now. Since my mother died, no one has been able to get close to him. I'll do what I can to protect the cats, but they will have to be clever enough to avoid coyotes. You've just got to keep Jaws indoors at night and early morning hours if you can't manage to keep him in 24/7. That's prime hunting hours for the coyote; and they're most active in the early spring when they're mating. We have coyotes but so far have never seen one in the daytime. You may be right about the environment change making it easier to keep Jaws in without protest. That's the way it was with mine when we moved. Good luck. Sherry |

You do what you can. I suppose the first thing is to make friends with your mother's cat, the rest is not in your hands (yet). Good luck Carola |
