I live across from a canyon that has many coyotes..it's their home and they aren't going to be relocated. Even the street smart cats aren't safe.. some of my neighbors have outdoor cats that have lasted a long time..but all to often I see the "missing cat" signs at the gate to my neighborhood. I also volunteered at the animal shelter and every Sunday we'd have a flood of cat owners looking for their missing cats... I have 2 indooor 3 year old cats...they are happy because they were raised as kittens to be indoors... I'm not saying this to make anyone feel bad... just to know that in coyote areas there is no way to insure they won't get your cat. Of course there are hazards indoors too.. medicines ect... but it is an alternative to be considered. As far as the turkey bones ect... also no one should leave pet food sitting outside for their animals as this can also attract them. Thanyou for sharing about the risk with us kit's dad...

I lived in New Mexico for three years and I would never have let Misty or Stormy outside unleashed or unsupervised. We had coyotes up and down our street every night, along with the hawks and owls (we were on the very last street before the neighborhood ended and the desert began). Every week, there'd be signs up..."Missing Cat," "Lost Dog." sad.gif Luckily Misty never tried to run outside, Stormy tried once and only got a few feet.
