Cat chases coyote?

[gwminor48]

Among other critters at night, we have coyotes and bobcats. My wife and I have worried about the safety of our neighbor's cat. The cat doesn't seem to share our fear for it's safety.

Very few coyotes around here but one of ours would chase fox off all the time. Don't think that predators like to mess with cats in good health much. Too much effort and risk for the meal.

Funny too that sometimes they'd kind of play together... Fox would sit off a little and get down on its front haunches and bounce back and forth like a dog trying to get the cat to play with it. Cat would make a move and it would run off a little and stop and do the same thing again. Sometimes it would make a move and the cat would run off and turn around and come back and do the same. Back and forth like that. They'd get a lot closer than you'd think. Sometimes just sit there together hanging out for a long time.

In my neighborhood there used to be an aggressive cat. When I would walk my Lab by the house the cat would come out and try and be boss. Later when I was walking by the house my dog was sniffing the lawn in front of the house next door to where the cat lives. She spent maybe 5 minutes doing it. So then we started walking again and I see a piece of cat entrails on the sidewalk. I then knew what had happened. The cat messed with the wrong coyote. By the way there were three cats that lived at the house. Two have been taken by coyotes which have become quite common in my neighborhood.
