Interesting⌠Iâm a dog person, but cats are extremely cool creatures. I guess if a coyote caught one in an open field. Iâm just surprised because cats have suck quick reflexes and leaping and climbing abilities. But they are small and probably slow runners compared to a coyote
Now what about a bobcat and coyote? My moneyâs on the bobcat

It sounds like you would be surprised by how awesome coyotes are at the above. They are not like dogs. They can leap/scale tall fences with ease (Google coyote rollers). They are incredibly quick. Also they work together in groups and are legit tactical when hunting.
They are also super risk-averse, so they generally wouldnât even attempt anything with a bobcat. If a coyote gets hurt they can get rejected by the pack, and then theyâre screwed.

Same. Lots of coyotes around. New missing cat almost weekly within a 2 mile radius. Might be even more than that if I were actually looking for them.
coyotes are near a top 10 fastest land animal in the world and can turn on a dime unlike greyhounds and whippets. The fastest coyotes are only slightly slower than racing greyhounds.
I let them get a head start in the creek and then have my dog chase them away so that they clear the area and hopefully donât return(and donât kill small dogs) and my dog is smart about the ones that donât run away and he just stops and bluff charges them until they turn and leave. They usually jog quickly until they realize heâs coming in fast at them and then they turn it on to get out of there in a flash.

Put hot sauce on 'em, that makes it worth it.
First time I read this it sounded like youâre losing a cat, weekly, and not even looking for it after.
Donât they hunt in packs? They would just trap the cat.

Your chihuahua is bad ass!
rarely, often solo or with their partner. Sometimes they will bring their older cubs with them before they leave the nest.

Youâre right. Just looked it up and Iâm shocked, shocked I tell you that itâs not an immigrant
I searched videos on coyotes doing cool stuff and found very little. Iâll have to take your guysâ word on their speed, ruthlessness, and leaping abilities. I learned that theyâre mostly active at dawn and dusk so maybe itâs hard to film them. I did however, find a really cool clip of a bobcat messing with, and killing a deadly rattlesnake just for funsies

Normally I would agree, but NCâs R candidate for governor is cartoonishly bad, so I might be more inclined to believe that thatâs having an effect on the presidential race there that isnât being felt in GA.
My friend in NC said a lot of people he knows are ticket splitting Trump/Stein because MUH TAXES!
Iâve seen a group running through Papago Park in broad daylight. But otoh theyâd wait for late night to go after momâs chickens.
