A robust, healthy coyote like the one in this stock photo is trying to eat a feral cat colony was spotted last night outside Providence Elizabeth House in High Point.
Wash. Dept. Edu.
A High Point Providence Elizabeth House resident said she had a stand-off with a coyote Monday night, Dec. 14, while protecting a colony of five feral "resident" cats. Lacey Gannon, 68, told the West Seattle Herald that she has been feeding feral cats regularly for two years who live by the parking lot. Last night was different.
He came right up the street just as bold as can be," she said of the coyote. "He wanted to eat the feral cats and I threw anything I could find around me at him for two hours. Finally a neighbor's dog started barking and he went away. I think he was looking for cats to eat day and night. Coyotes are usually a scrawny looking animal, but this one is so fat, and absolutely beautiful, thick fur, all silver. big ears that stand way up into point. I want to warn neighbors to keep your animals indoors and don't leave food outside. I see norices posted all over the neighborhood of missing cats. I think these coyotes eat them."
