Bobcat on the Hunt

On the day one of our cats met her demise, she was walking along one side of the house while a coyote was walking along another side, both toward the same corner. They met at the corner. The cat ran, the coyote was fatser, and killed the cat. She ran right past a couple of trees she could have scooted up, but I imagine if I were in a similar situation, all of my energy would be in running instead of thinking.
