Musings on....Cats



Cats have gone missing in the neighborhood. 

On the same day, two cats were discovered dead and one is still missing.  It looks like the work of a coyote.  My neighbor has blogged about this and can add more details.

We have a cat that likes to spend a lot of time outdoors.  The girls are extremely concerned about his safety.  We will try to keep him indoors, but it's hard.  He wants to hunt.

The other dilemma is.... do we contact Fish and Wildlife?  Babies are involved, and I would hate to see anything bad happen.  The girls have lost cats before when we lived in Vermont.  The elusive Fisher Cat was known to be the predator in those rural parts. 

I understand that a mother has to feed her children, but something feels wrong about it being right in our neighborhood. 

I checked out You Tube and have found several videos of cats being attacked by coyote...all in city like settings.
