Makes good bait. But you had better be watching or you might lose the pet.

Yep. Coyotes and Bobcats love house cats and lap dogs for dinner.

Wouldn’t leave my ole Kitty outside for no amount of money.

Last time I was at the old house in California, my brother visited with his German Shepherd (trained schutzhund). There's all sorts of wildlife in that neighborhood, from turkeys to deer to pigs to rabbits to etc. And with that comes mt lions, coyotes and other predators.

So we were letting the dog chase turkeys on the hillside when a neighbor came out, pissed off, telling us that he has a cat that likes to wander that same hillside and he didn't want the cat being attacked.

I looked at him and said "your cat's problem isn't going to be a trained, obedient dog, dude." Total blank stare in return.

It makes me wish there were one in my neighborhood to get rid of the loose unspayed cats. I don't want to trap and shoot em because the cat lady across the road asked me nicely not to, but good grief.

Thanks for the info.
I will let the lady know about that. Her cats spray that fresh country air with urine and ruin the.experience.
I'd take one good black snake over ten barn cats.

Had a buddy who was at a family member's cabin near Price, UT for the weekend. When he got there, he discovered a cat had gotten into the cabin. He saw a flash of fur run into a bathroom. He cornered what he assumed was a feral house cat behind the toilet. Reached down to grab it, intending I guess to toss it out the door, only to discover it was actually a bobcat. His arms were fairly shredded by the time he got it loose. Bobcat ran off, and he had to get rabies shots. This was in the 80s when rabies shots were just slightly preferable to having rabies. He was in the Air Force so at least his medical care was covered, but he sure had some explaining to do to the First Sergeant and Commander when he got back to base.

This cat was walking down the road, at about 200 yards going away from me,turned my Jeep hard right, and picked him off, don't use a 6.5 Creed with a 135 gr. A-Tip, not fur friendly, didn't see the Wood Rat till I drove up to him. Rio7
