In reply to the discussion: Terrified & Disoriented coyote found in SF. "She’d given up" [View all]AsahinaKimi
(20,776 posts)11. I have a dear friend in Los Angeles
For a few years she worked Cat rescue and had been constantly telling people in the San Fernando valley, not to let their cats out at night. Too many people did not listen, and there are coyotes there who will kill cats (and dogs) if given the chance. One woman, had found her cat barely alive and brought it to the emergency room, and they had saved the cat, but a few months later, not heeding any warnings was letting her cat out at night, and this time had found it torn to shreds. You can only tell people so much, before they start listening to you.

I've heard them in a park north of Seattle at night in the winter. They like to eat squirrels.

Poor thing. They live in packs, don't they? I hope she gets a new pack? Can they do that?
