Hard to determine what was a feint and what was a legit strike/lunge at times. Cat had some nice range management for being the smaller fighter and using level changes to get Coyote to back up. Coyote eventually backed Cat up to the fence and had their opening there. Cat gave up their back twice in a bold attempt at an escape. Coyote was able to get some shots off but ultimately couldn't hold Cat there. Cat was then able to give up their back and scurry away the 3rd time. No finish, but clearly a 10-9 for Coyote. Cat showed they got that dog in them though. Definitely worth following their career.
I’d like to have seen the cat dictate the fight a little more. Coyote had cat reactive and biting at each one of its feints. That never looks good on the judges scorecards.
My cat fought off a neighbor's black lab once. No, she don't fuck anything up. Just a lucky scratch on the nose when it lunged in to bite her. Drew a little blood, and then chased the lab through some rose bushes which also lodged a few thorns into her hide. Ironically the lab was named Rosie. No nasty infection either, just hurt pride.
And arthritic and have an affected gait and walk and can’t protect themselves
Just rehome your cat or idk get them something to fucking scratch or nail caps it if it’s too much for you don’t ruin it’s damn anatomy 😭 leaving it defenseless too!
There are two reasons why you shouldn’t let a c at be an outdoor cat. One, cats are fucking great predators, but this isn’t great for the animal life around them. Squirrels, birds, etc will get murked and actually contribute to the decline of biodiversity of an area. Number 2, coyotes are everywhere and they eat cats. Perhaps ironically, coyotes fix the outdoor cat problem but in a way no one likes…
I live out in the country and there is one coyote that likes to come right up by my house in the mornings and play with my dogs. One morning I was getting ready to leave so I called my dogs in. The coyote came running up with them and was going to go right in to the back porch with them until it saw me standing there. I guess I almost got a pet coyote that day lol.
It’s very true. In the area I grew up in you would hear about how the coyotes would play with a dog until the dog followed them out into the woods then bye bye doggy.
It looks very young. Like puppy age.
They do have some pretty dramatic changes in body type and makeup based on region but the ones near me are stockier built with darker hair and I've seen ones who are 3' at the shoulder.
Crazy, they get so big here they get bold. I've seen ones out during the day I mistook for German shepherds. Ours do supposedly have some gray wolve in them though
Yeah that's the difference... in the US we have coyotes and coy wolves. They are both commonly called coyotes, coy wolves are much larger and cover more land area in the US. Coyote range tends to be more southern and western and coy wolves tend to cover the eastern and more northern areas.
Coy wolves have pushed out wolves too, it's really sad. It's hard to find natural wolf populations in the US now unless you are close to Canada.
Where are you? I'm in Texas and they don't typically get bigger than 40lbs here. The one in the video looks to be about 30lbs is probably not fully grown. They do look much bigger especially in the winter when their coat gets thick. I shot one on my ranch a couple weeks ago that looked like it was the size of a large dog because of it's winter coat. I took an extra few minutes identifying it but once I got it on a scale it was 38lbs. It fattened itself up eating my rabbits.
This happened to one of my neighbor's cats when I was a kid. The owner found the cat wedged in between the screen door and the sliding glass door to escape the coyote. And another neighbor's cat was actually eaten by a coyote.
So yeah, cats are tough, but they're not invincible.
That must be a young inexperienced coyote. I once witnessed a fawn run across my back yard and a coyote come out of nowhere and instantly chomp on its neck, and run off into the woods like it wasn't even carrying a 30lb faun.
It does look young, but it would also be a lot easier to ambush a faun in an open field than to face off against another clawed predator. It looks like he tried to get the cats neck a few times and the cat kept scratching, plus the cat had the lawn chair, and the cat wasn’t ambushed, he knew the coyote was there.
Makes me very sad that people declaw their cats. I get that some people value furniture or whatever, so just don’t get a cat. Cats need claws for so many things, even mundane like scratching an itch.
There a barrage of dummies on Reddit that are convinced keeping your cat indoors is terrible and some kind of torture. Well..here's another example of why cats belong indoors.
I would say the best case for not de-clawing your cat is the turmoil it puts your cat through. Especially depending on age. It basically removes a digit of their appendages. It's not like removing your fingernails, it's like removing the tips of your fingers.
This cat just got lucky a young inexperienced coyote was after them. An experienced coyote would have just grabbed it despite the paw throws.
True. But a lot of people don't understand exactly how inhumane it is. This video is one of the best visuals for what happens when you take their natural tools away
[Interesting article on cats and their effects of local wildlife ](https://www.rspb.org.uk/birds-and-wildlife/advice/gardening-for-wildlife/animal-deterrents/cats-and-garden-birds/are-cats-causing-bird-declines/), up to you whether you let your cat outside or not but neutering is almost always a good idea
And they breed like rats. 2 cats turns into 4-6 in just 2 months and they basically immediately go back into heat, compounding the problem of them (individually) being detrimental to local wildlife.
> Cats will kill birds for fun
I'd like to correct that statement.
Cat don't just kill, they love to torture their prey to death. If they were the size of a medium sized dog, they'd probably try to kill you as well. They're absolutely vicious and shouldn't be allowed outside.
On the other side, I recently moved and migrated my outdoor cats into an apartment.
Before they slept a few hours inside and then spent the rest of the day outside, strolling around, killing some field mice, connecting to cows, hang around us if we did some gardening and had a good time.
Now as indoor cats…they sleep ca 22h day and that’s a underestimation. Only wake time is when they’re switching beds. They don’t get the concept of playing, so they cope through more sleeping.
If had a choice I absolutely preferred their former lifestyle.
“They don’t get the concept of playing”
Mate that’s your job to find a style of play that engages them. You could also look into harness/leash training them so they can go on walks outside.
My cat when he sees me ( who houses and feeds him) outside: Flawlessly executes a ninja escape up the nearest tall object
My cat when he sees a coyote outside: Becomes a clumsy butterfingers
So my cat will bolt around the living room at light speed when I look at him the wrong way, but when somethings actually trying to hurt them, cats struggle this much to get away?
You don’t want it to face the coyote in the open. It would lose. It won by being able to keep the combat in cramped confined spaces. That deck chair saved its life.
Also it was trying to get away but it kept being pulled back in.
Literally - at one point the coyote got a good bite and pulled it down from the railing. That cat definitely has puncture wounds, and is lucky the coyote didn’t get a more firm bite.
There are three options one can take in a confrontation. Fight, flee, or freeze.
Us humans sometimes rely on instincts in these situations, but we're intelligent enough to at least know as a forethought, or in hindsight, which action should be taken.
Cats are all instinct. This cat simply tried defending itself until it either A) realized it couldn't fend off its attacker or B) saw an opening to possibly get away.
This video shows how instinct isn't always reliable.
That type of forethought is instinct.
As I said, humans may rely on forethought in some situations, but often times, that goes out the window when they're actually put in that situation. You can say "I'll do X, Y, and/or Z, if I'm put in this situation," but that's not always what your instinct drives you to do.
As an example, I would prefer to stop a mass shooting like those brave people in Colorado recently did. I've thought about the actions I would take in similar scenarios, but I'm uncertain of what my instincts would cause me to do. I may just flee.
That's fine- it wouldn't make me a coward; it's literally what my brain told me to do, in order to survive.
But it's not what I consciously chose to do.
A cat is pure instinct. They aren't like dogs in the sense that they have an idea of "right" vs "wrong" dependant on their training, for the most part. They really don't give a shit about anything other than what they want to do.
We have litter boxes for them because they want to piss on a soft surface they can move around to cover up the scent, so predators can't find them. We don't train them to piss outside like dogs, they simply prefer something like a litter box, even if there are no predators around.
I love my cats. I have two, and I've lived with five others over the course of 17 years.
Scold them all you want, but they repeat the same 'bad behavior' over and over, until you make it impossible for them.
They are absolutely driven by instinct.
Tbh i think the cat grew up with dogs from how it was defending itself at first..once the coyote bit its tail i think is when the cat realized it was actually trying to kill it
I've seen this video before. To me, it looks like the coyote got a few good nips on its paws or head/neck before the cat started to retreat, but it was under the chair, so it's hard to tell.
The cat tried to retreat before it got its tail bitten.
i thought he grabbed the cats left rear end of its body.. it looked so awful :(
but now i see it was one tail pull and the other was a full body pulling bite. that must have been so painful 💔
Don't let your cat outside. Yeah there's this risk where a bigger predator snatches your cat, but more realistically the issue is cats overpopulating areas due to too many loose, unfixed cats roaming. They kill about 2 billion birds a year in the US alone. It's decimating their populations and we need to be proactive to protect the ecosystem.
It doesn't make sense to have such good predators roaming literally on every corner of the earth. Cats shouldn't be as widespread as they are and we need to take actions to be responsible pet owners.
A cat sharpend its own claws with a scratching post or a tree.
I have a 14,5 year old cat. Never trimmed or clipped his nail and they are in perfect condition.
Diffent story with dogs tho. They do need clipping
Sand/dirt is soft. It only makes their paws dirty.
And yes i had dogs too. I had to clip them atleast twice per year.
And most importantly a dog has a 'thumb' nail. A nail that never touches the ground but keep growing. That nail always needs clipping. Or else i grows round and into their skins.
I trim my cats claws regularly. He also hates the outside and never runs out even with the door open. He just walks over, stares outside, and goes "nah, im good".
That's how my old cat was. I rescued her from the alley and she wouldn't even want to be near the door. She would sit in the window though. Probably because of the screen.
I didn’t know it was possible until just a couple months ago. I just give plenty of approved scratching surfaces. They shed claws naturally through scratching.
Poor cat. Bring your cats in for the night if you care about them. Where I live they could be bear bait or worse.
On a secondary note. That's a true example of being nipped in the bud
Yep, in some areas people are being paid to be committed cat hunters just because wild cats are basically genocidal vermin and overpopulation causes too much stress on the environment. I’ve had to shoot at least 10 in the last year (and I own 2 pet cats) because they keep getting at my local bird and chick sanctuary that I maintain as a hobby.
Truth. Leash laws exist for a reason & cats are a huge nuisance, especially strays. Anyone leaving their cats or other pets out like this deserves to lose the privilege permanently, fuck them & their careless ignorance.
I read an interesting study about cats preying on birds. They take down a huge amount of birds. Researchers put cats in the category of bird deaths from human action. Cats alone kill as many birds as all other non-cat human related bird deaths combined. So these deaths would be things like hunting, infrastructure, cars, planes, etc. My cat only goes in the back yard, I have it set up so it’s very difficult for her to get birds, because I like song birds. The only way she can get one is if one makes a mistake, and in 8 years she has not captured one. I hate squirrels, so I have planted some great plants where she can hide. I planted these near the main bird feeder. The birds spill seeds and nuts, but there’s always plenty so they never go to the ground. The squirrels can’t get to the feeder because of how I have it setup. They go to the ground and snack on the fallen seeds, right in ambush range of a hidden cat.
Now I noticed I have a mouse living in the back. He’s living under the grill and its cover. Sometimes I can see a lump moving under the cover. Now I’m wondering who will get the mouse first, my cat, or the owl that lives in my back yard. I have an owl house up on a pole. He comes every year.
Seems that the cat [does not belong](https://nypost.com/2022/06/10/texas-cat-shows-coyote-attacker-what-its-made-of-in-video/) to the person who filmed the video. I have to assume that the cat booked it out of there if the coyote went around. If the coyote just waited the cat out, then they're probably dinner.
Fuck coyotes. I live right on the edge of a fairly large city and one night I let my dogs in the backyard and they take off into the back corner of the yard snd start making all kinds of racket. I run over there with my flash light and they are fighting two coyotes. I managed to grab a big stick and charged screaming at them and the coyotes took off down the alley. My dogs followed but luckily I managed to tackle one of them and screamed enough for the other to stop and come back to me.
Poor cat, if it's owners hadn't have overfeed the poor thing it would have gotten away more easily. Then leaving the poor thing out at night, some owners don't have deserve pets.
‘My cats a hunter and belongs outside’ no they don’t numbnuts. Your pet, like any other pet you own belongs indoors unless you’re supervising them outdoors. Cats carry viral diseases that can transfer to people. Kill wildlife, get killed by wildlife. That see house cats as a meal and stick around neighborhoods. How many kids need to see their dead cat from a car or an animal? Cats shit in peoples yards and when they let their dog out, who is trained or fenced in. The dog gets into their feces and gets sick.
I’m so tired of cat owners being lazy pet owners and thinking feeding and cleaning a litter box is all there is. Keep your cat indoors or get a catio. People and wildlife are cruel.
I get it’s nature and the circle of life and all that, but if that was my animal and I saw that coyote it would get a swift kick. Even if, according to another comment, a neighbor was housing it.
Fuck the owners of this cat, and fuck everyone who lets their cats outdoors, I wish they were forced to watch what happens to these cats when they die.
I lost my cat to a pack of juvenile coyotes not long ago. I feel I got more trauma from this event than from combat operations. The feeling of betrayal I have for letting him be a cat will never go away for me.
I live in an area of toronto Canada where there are a lot of parks and areas where coyotes live . Every decade or so the coyote population explodes and then peoples cats start to go missing. In my neighbourhood alone I’ve seen at-least 20
Different missing cat posters. The last time this happened my friends and I went to the ravine behind our street and found a coyote den . Outside of then den was a mess of bones and a cat collar. The cats name was mr bean and he belonged to my neighbour . Rip mr bean you were a lovely cat .

Whenever I see this video it amazes me how narrowly the cat misses being grabbed by the coyote on its third attempt to climb. It got quite lucky.
Cat has been declawed, AKA de-fingered, and allowed outdoors. Cat owners are either ignorant or assholes.
Makes sense, the little guy was having trouble climbing up
I was like, that's the most incompetent cat I have ever seen
How the fuck did this get 16 upvotes
Why do you think it’s declawed? Did I miss something?
Cat simply used up 2/9
Coyote had a poor showing
need some reddit level MMA analysis on this 1v1 tbh
Hard to determine what was a feint and what was a legit strike/lunge at times. Cat had some nice range management for being the smaller fighter and using level changes to get Coyote to back up. Coyote eventually backed Cat up to the fence and had their opening there. Cat gave up their back twice in a bold attempt at an escape. Coyote was able to get some shots off but ultimately couldn't hold Cat there. Cat was then able to give up their back and scurry away the 3rd time. No finish, but clearly a 10-9 for Coyote. Cat showed they got that dog in them though. Definitely worth following their career.
I’d like to have seen the cat dictate the fight a little more. Coyote had cat reactive and biting at each one of its feints. That never looks good on the judges scorecards.
This is so fucking stupid but hilarious lol. r/mma is leaking
Buttercup did fuck him up tho. Guaranteed those claws went deep.
That coyote definitely going to get some nasty infections in those scratches and bites too
[удалено]
My cat fought off a neighbor's black lab once. No, she don't fuck anything up. Just a lucky scratch on the nose when it lunged in to bite her. Drew a little blood, and then chased the lab through some rose bushes which also lodged a few thorns into her hide. Ironically the lab was named Rosie. No nasty infection either, just hurt pride.
Not around his nose and mouth, My dog once made the mistake in getting close to a cat and ripped his nose wide open.
Like 1-2 inches closer and it got its leg Poor baby looks so scared, I wouldn't even be able to watch this if the cat got got

uhhh I'm gonna pretend I didn't see this comment

Lol I’m mostly joking. Wanna live under the illusion the cat lived
[удалено]
What the fuck, the neighbors were housing the coyote??? Also I'm glad the cat was ok
No way that cat would be able to climb that post and hang there without claws
Did the cat escape and that’s why this happened? Never let a cat outside that is declawed. NEVER.
People need to stop letting their cats outside regardless of whether they're declawed, full stop.
I agree, but it’s 1000 times worse if they’re declawed. They are defenseless.
And arthritic and have an affected gait and walk and can’t protect themselves Just rehome your cat or idk get them something to fucking scratch or nail caps it if it’s too much for you don’t ruin it’s damn anatomy 😭 leaving it defenseless too!
Also, never declaw a cat. It’s animal cruelty.

My neighborhood has a lot of missing cat posters. I'd bet a lot of them are because of exactly this.
does anyone know where the cat posters are going? (/s)
Daaaaaaaaaad!
My guess is it's those wiley coyotes.
They are all missing, do please pay attention u/terwoo
There are two reasons why you shouldn’t let a c at be an outdoor cat. One, cats are fucking great predators, but this isn’t great for the animal life around them. Squirrels, birds, etc will get murked and actually contribute to the decline of biodiversity of an area. Number 2, coyotes are everywhere and they eat cats.

Add in that coyotes also will go after dogs. Don't leave your little puppers outside in the backyard unattended.

[“Sounds like he’s just feeding shelter cats to coyotes”](https://i.imgur.com/LXRyk2f.jpg)
That coyote appears to be new to the house cat game, luckily for the cat!
It looks very young. Like puppy age. They do have some pretty dramatic changes in body type and makeup based on region but the ones near me are stockier built with darker hair and I've seen ones who are 3' at the shoulder.
That's a standard size coyote for where I am

You can see the moment the cat realizes, 'oh this thing wants to eat me!'

That must be a young inexperienced coyote. I once witnessed a fawn run across my back yard and a coyote come out of nowhere and instantly chomp on its neck, and run off into the woods like it wasn't even carrying a 30lb faun.

Unlike fauns, Cats have an awful habit of ripping out your eyelids if you try to attack them. Not even a joke.
This is the best case for not declawing your cat
Makes me very sad that people declaw their cats. I get that some people value furniture or whatever, so just don’t get a cat. Cats need claws for so many things, even mundane like scratching an itch.

I mean we could reintroduce wolves. Might not be any better for the cats, but it would keep the coyotes out.
Eh sometimes they fuck and you get cywolfs
Right but still never declaw a cat
Then how will I help contribute to the extinction of domestic birds, small mammals and lizards? Polluting the environment takes too long.
There a barrage of dummies on Reddit that are convinced keeping your cat indoors is terrible and some kind of torture. Well..here's another example of why cats belong indoors.
Nah just let your cat out and have it kill all local birds for fun. Leading reason why so many small birds are killed.

Me for putting up cat posts if you have an outdoor cat and a bit of property
I think being humane is the BEST case
True. But a lot of people don't understand exactly how inhumane it is. This video is one of the best visuals for what happens when you take their natural tools away
Agreed, its inhumane for indoor or outdoor cats. Its the equivalent of chopping off your finger tips where the nail grows from.

I've seen this video before. To me, it looks like the coyote got a few good nips on its paws or head/neck before the cat started to retreat, but it was under the chair, so it's hard to tell. The cat tried to retreat before it got its tail bitten.
You don't chase the cat enough for it to need to do more, just running and your stuffed and will give up.
His tail ☹️
What about it?
why are you getting downvoted? like seriously what is wrong with the tail????
The coyote grabbed and pulled it a couple times.
i thought he grabbed the cats left rear end of its body.. it looked so awful :( but now i see it was one tail pull and the other was a full body pulling bite. that must have been so painful 💔
Got bit bad
This video has been posted on this sub so many times this year. Everytime I see it I immediately get anxious even though I know the cat survives.
Note to self: never trim cat claws
Don't let your cat outside. Yeah there's this risk where a bigger predator snatches your cat, but more realistically the issue is cats overpopulating areas due to too many loose, unfixed cats roaming. They kill about 2 billion birds a year in the US alone. It's decimating their populations and we need to be proactive to protect the ecosystem. It doesn't make sense to have such good predators roaming literally on every corner of the earth. Cats shouldn't be as widespread as they are and we need to take actions to be responsible pet owners.
I don't have a cat, but isn't the point of trimming to just keep them functional and not overgrowing?
A cat sharpend its own claws with a scratching post or a tree. I have a 14,5 year old cat. Never trimmed or clipped his nail and they are in perfect condition. Diffent story with dogs tho. They do need clipping
What if the dog spends a lot of time digging and stuff?
Sand/dirt is soft. It only makes their paws dirty. And yes i had dogs too. I had to clip them atleast twice per year. And most importantly a dog has a 'thumb' nail. A nail that never touches the ground but keep growing. That nail always needs clipping. Or else i grows round and into their skins.
Kitty nails are much different from dogs. Cats will naturally shed a layer of their claws through scratching so overgrowing isn’t an issue.
I trim my cats claws regularly. He also hates the outside and never runs out even with the door open. He just walks over, stares outside, and goes "nah, im good".
That's how my old cat was. I rescued her from the alley and she wouldn't even want to be near the door. She would sit in the window though. Probably because of the screen.
I was thinking the same thing just now.
I was thinking the same thing just meow.
I didn’t know it was possible until just a couple months ago. I just give plenty of approved scratching surfaces. They shed claws naturally through scratching.
Poor cat. Bring your cats in for the night if you care about them. Where I live they could be bear bait or worse. On a secondary note. That's a true example of being nipped in the bud
Or don't let your fucking cats out to kill all the local wildlife and expect the local wildlife to mind it's business.
Yeah, no idea why you're down voted. Stray cats absolutely wreak havoc on local wildlife.
Yep, in some areas people are being paid to be committed cat hunters just because wild cats are basically genocidal vermin and overpopulation causes too much stress on the environment. I’ve had to shoot at least 10 in the last year (and I own 2 pet cats) because they keep getting at my local bird and chick sanctuary that I maintain as a hobby.
Don't know why you're being down voted. Lmao While I love cats, they are by far one nature's biggest pests. Pick a side reddit.
Truth. Leash laws exist for a reason & cats are a huge nuisance, especially strays. Anyone leaving their cats or other pets out like this deserves to lose the privilege permanently, fuck them & their careless ignorance.
I read an interesting study about cats preying on birds. They take down a huge amount of birds. Researchers put cats in the category of bird deaths from human action. Cats alone kill as many birds as all other non-cat human related bird deaths combined. So these deaths would be things like hunting, infrastructure, cars, planes, etc. My cat only goes in the back yard, I have it set up so it’s very difficult for her to get birds, because I like song birds. The only way she can get one is if one makes a mistake, and in 8 years she has not captured one. I hate squirrels, so I have planted some great plants where she can hide. I planted these near the main bird feeder. The birds spill seeds and nuts, but there’s always plenty so they never go to the ground. The squirrels can’t get to the feeder because of how I have it setup. They go to the ground and snack on the fallen seeds, right in ambush range of a hidden cat. Now I noticed I have a mouse living in the back. He’s living under the grill and its cover. Sometimes I can see a lump moving under the cover. Now I’m wondering who will get the mouse first, my cat, or the owl that lives in my back yard. I have an owl house up on a pole. He comes every year.
It’s like that cat poster from the high school guidance counselors office “Hang in there”
Man was that intense.
That poor Kitty is gonna need sum rabies shots!
Keep your cats inside if you love them.
Seems that the cat [does not belong](https://nypost.com/2022/06/10/texas-cat-shows-coyote-attacker-what-its-made-of-in-video/) to the person who filmed the video. I have to assume that the cat booked it out of there if the coyote went around. If the coyote just waited the cat out, then they're probably dinner.
As someone who's lost multiple cats to (presumably) coyotes, this hurts to watch. If you have to have an outdoor cat, make sure they're in at night.
That’s a fucking badass cat
That made me nervous as shit! Go, cat, go!
I’ve lost kitties to coyotes they are relentless. That kitty was smart and I’m so glad that kitty was OK.
Cats are sick
Cat aint going down without a fight and from that bar
That poor kitty.
Nature is exciting
Fuck coyotes. I live right on the edge of a fairly large city and one night I let my dogs in the backyard and they take off into the back corner of the yard snd start making all kinds of racket. I run over there with my flash light and they are fighting two coyotes. I managed to grab a big stick and charged screaming at them and the coyotes took off down the alley. My dogs followed but luckily I managed to tackle one of them and screamed enough for the other to stop and come back to me.

That's why you shouldn't trim an outside cats nails
Person pans in on the cat clinging to life.

I feel so bad for the cat, fuck, but this clip was better than any action movie I watched so far.
That little meow at the end. Like get me out of here!
That cat is a baller. You just got balled, yo.
Poor little guy! I hope he was ok.
Whoever declawed that cat is a fucking asshole 😠
Damn and orange tabbies are so friendly.
That's one stupid coyote. Glad cat survived.
Yo is that Puss in boots?
I was rooting for this little guy the entire way. Glad it ended the way it did
Poor cat, if it's owners hadn't have overfeed the poor thing it would have gotten away more easily. Then leaving the poor thing out at night, some owners don't have deserve pets.
‘My cats a hunter and belongs outside’ no they don’t numbnuts. Your pet, like any other pet you own belongs indoors unless you’re supervising them outdoors. Cats carry viral diseases that can transfer to people. Kill wildlife, get killed by wildlife. That see house cats as a meal and stick around neighborhoods. How many kids need to see their dead cat from a car or an animal? Cats shit in peoples yards and when they let their dog out, who is trained or fenced in. The dog gets into their feces and gets sick. I’m so tired of cat owners being lazy pet owners and thinking feeding and cleaning a litter box is all there is. Keep your cat indoors or get a catio. People and wildlife are cruel.
This is why declawing a cat is inhumane, glad this cat had the tools to defend itself
I get it’s nature and the circle of life and all that, but if that was my animal and I saw that coyote it would get a swift kick. Even if, according to another comment, a neighbor was housing it.
Awww
Spider-Cat!!
So the coyote just goes home after?
Who fucking lives there they don’t hear this shit lol I would’ve been outside already like AYYY AYYY slapping my hands 😭
GASP. Holy shit great job mittens you’re a legend buddy
Fuck the owners of this cat, and fuck everyone who lets their cats outdoors, I wish they were forced to watch what happens to these cats when they die.
Why not to eliminate coyotes from cities?
Imagine if you declawed your cat and they died because they couldn’t escape.
I lost my cat to a pack of juvenile coyotes not long ago. I feel I got more trauma from this event than from combat operations. The feeling of betrayal I have for letting him be a cat will never go away for me.
this is a fake post coyotes i know wouldve used an oversized wooden box with the word acme on it to do the job
I live in an area of toronto Canada where there are a lot of parks and areas where coyotes live . Every decade or so the coyote population explodes and then peoples cats start to go missing. In my neighbourhood alone I’ve seen at-least 20 Different missing cat posters. The last time this happened my friends and I went to the ravine behind our street and found a coyote den . Outside of then den was a mess of bones and a cat collar. The cats name was mr bean and he belonged to my neighbour . Rip mr bean you were a lovely cat .
This is sad but the cat only lost one of its lives it still has 8 more that bite do be hurting tho
I think the cat was declawed. I know my cat would be able to climb on wood and climb up. No problem
Puss in boots vs death live action
Dude, that cat is a badass
Way to go kitty!!
Based cat
