Dumb neighbors

Male and female couple - newly married but older than me - I'd say late
40's early 50's. They have a cat they let roam all day and all
night. He is *adorable* - black and white tux, named Buster. The
other day I was out standing in my yard talking to another neighbor and
a HUGE male coyote ran down the middle of the street. I was *shocked*
- while we are somewhat rural, we are very well developed here - there
are woods down the street, but most of the area is neighborhood for 5
or six miles in all directions. I never thought I would see a coyote
here.

The next day I saw the guy who owns the cat and told him about the
coyote. I told him he might want to keep Buster in at night. His
response? "Nah! The coyotes were here first - it's the natural food
chain."

WTF is wrong with people?

Ugh, how awful! Poor baby's future does not bode well. I hope he'll
be okay. I'd say kidnap him but I know that's hard to do when it's a
neighbor's animal. Of course, if you did take Buster in, they might
just assume the coyote got him.

don't know, I just know people like that should not own animals or have
children!

It's disgusting. It is a variation of the "Be Free Wild Thing"
nonsense some in the UK and elsewhere do. The thing that made
my ex-best-friend tell me she would rather her cat have a much
shorter life and live it outside "where nature intended her to."
Nature? She lived in Baltimore. She got her wish too.

Yeah, I now have an *EX* best friend (we were friends for 48 years!). I
*had* to drop her when, after months of me telling her the consequences and
giving her alternatives, she had both her cats declawed anyway because,
"They were scratching my new leather couch!". And then right after they
were declawed she made them jump up and down from the washer and dryer to
get to their food because she was too stupid to keep the dog out of it any
other way!!! *UGH*!!!!!!!!

think about what she did!

Perhaps he was yanking your chain... is the cat still roaming?

Was it daytime? That's rare, and even more rare during daylight hours.
In the 50 years I have lived here, I've seen a coyote in the daytime
one time. OTOH, my daughter's housing additions sounds much like yours.
And they have seen a coyote on the school playground *twice*.
Makes you wonder what's going on with them. Are they just hungrier
because of all the encroachment, or just bolder? Or getting
overpopulated and thereby forced into more populated areas...maybe all
three.
BTW your neighbor is an idiot, but you already knew that. Wonder
exactly where he thinks *his* place on the food chain is.

Yes, 1:30 PM - running straight down the middle of the road. Another
neighbor said she had seen it previously sitting in someone's yard in
the daytime.

I think all three. He was acting like something had scared him. he's
probably hanging in the woods,and there are some idiot boys who play
down there - they may have chased him or something.

I seriously do not understand them.
