Cat Protector June 10th 04 07:10 AM

I would have swerved to avoid the cat. A motorcycle is something that can be
replaced, a life can't.

Hey douchbag, when I moved here 26 years ago, we didn't have coyotes

around
here. But with the urban sprawl and all, the coyotes have moved in. Only

a
moron would let their cat out to die in the wild. Cats are not wild

animals
and disrupt the natural order of things outside in the wild. A few weeks
ago while on my motorcycle, I nailed someone's cat. It was not

intentional,
the damn moron ran out in front of me and I had two choices. Nail the cat
or dump the bike... The bike is not going down because some moron let

their
cat out to be killed...

People who love their cats don't let them out to be killed by coyotes,

James
Marz and traffic... Keep the kitty in the house where it belongs... My
little gray kitty will live a long and healthy life without ever going
outside...

Growling at the world,

Bulldog...

coyetes, like motorcycles, are higher than cats.

Just another troller who just doesn't get it. But troller or not, I believe
a cat is more precious a life and is not to be treated like an object.

There's something worse for housecats than coyotes: immature cougars that
are too young to prey on deer. See
http://www.boston.com/news/daily/05/odds_cat.htm

And about 18 months ago there was a case in Washington state of a pair of
sub-adult cougars travelling together who were after a man's dog while the
man and dog were at his lake property. One of those cougars had a dead
housecat in its mouth. The guy went back to his truck, pulled out a pistol,
and shot both cougars dead. According to the interview of some law
enforcement official the guy was within his rights. Personally, I think the
guy could've driven off the two cougars. Killing them shouldn't have been
necessary. What an AH :-(

Sampson said coyotes can be infected with rabies, but it is extremely
rare. Statewide, there have been only two documented cases of coyotes
with rabies since 1994. And it is almost unheard of for the coyotes to
attack humans in New England.

"I wouldn't worry too much about coyotes as far as human interaction,"
he said.

Cats and small dogs, on the other hand, can easily become prey for the
coyotes.

"We have had quite a few cats come up missing in the city," said
Sampson. "I know a few have been eaten by coyotes; there is no doubt
about that."

One feline victim was owned by Joe Testa, a resident of Allan Dale
Road. He woke one morning in late May to discover that his family's
calico cat had been killed, most likely by a coyote.

Testa didn't see the coyote, but there have been a handful of coyote
sightings around Norwich Circle, which is where the cat's remains were
found. The cat, said Testa, had obviously been killed and eaten by
another animal.

The cat, named JJ, had been part of the Testa family for 10 years.

"Our two little kids were crying; they were sad," said Testa, a father
to daughters ages 5 and 7. "When my daughters were babies, the cat was
already in the house."
