Yes, I'm assuming that he was killed- his hair was all over the place with
traces of blood- there's no way he lived through all that.

The Good Samaritan is a retirement home on the East side of town- we live
right across the street from it.

I've never had any problems with all 3 of my cats being outside at night
before- and I've never seen a coyote over there wandering the streets
before- but now that this has happened (with my cat), I've been hearing alot
about sightings in our area.

Keep your cats in at night!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I don't want dinner to be that
easy for them anymore.  Obiviously they had found dinner a couple houses
down the night before, and then found it at my house on Thursday night.
What's sad is that we have a dog, AND our porch lights on (police said to
keep porch light on to scare them away)- didn't phase this coyote one bit.
The one I saw last night was standing right under the street light on the
corner!

I don't understand, was your cat killed?  I'm so sorry, if that's
the case.

Who is the Good Samaritan?

Have coyotes traditionally been a problem in town?  We are about to
move to C Street in Moscow, and I have two cats.  I would have been
completely unaware of the potential for this problem without your
post; many thanks.
