When Hell Shows Up On Your Doorstep

Not harmless for the bunny, though.  Poor critter, cats are ruthless hunters.

Yeah, I also thought from the thread title that something much worse came calling.

Do the coyotes keep their distance from your home ?

Cheers

My critters seem to have a high sensitivity to coyotes and alligators. I can tell when they are about, by the sounds they make and how my critters react.

They go crazy over rabbits, other small mammals, and some strange dogs that get too close to the house. Dogs they know they don't get in a frenzy over, if they don't know the dog they can be quite vocal about it. I don't know what sets them off.

It's funny how tuned-in your indoor pets can be to what's going on outside.

Rare for me to step out into such an environment without the AR-15 locked and loaded. Damned coyotes always prowling around.

Last night it was the possum though. Quiet docile little thing. Luke grabbed him and shook Hell out of him before I could get him off and back inside the fence. Must've been the fourth or fifth time ... and he still ain't bright enough to move a little further away ... at least to the other side of the creek.

There are better things on the menu at the homes of my neighbors, so they don't hang out around here. If they are about they are usually just passing through.
