He's been out for over 24 hours. This is the first time he's stayed out
all
night since the weather turned crisp. He doesn't have a thick fur coat and
gets cold easily.

I went out and called around for him before I went to bed last night, and
figured I'd find him on the sofa this morning as usual, but he was not
there. Haven't checked the barn at Gloria's yet but I was in that area
most
of the afternoon yesterday and should have seen him if he was around.

I'll post again when he shows up, meanwhile some purrs would be helpful.

We have foxes, not coyotes. And not many of them.

I have no idea how the above message from me got onto this newsgroup.

Coyote populations have pushed eastward into places previously
unknown to them. Some of the very last pockets of unoccupied
space are falling even today, such as suburban Washington, D.C.

I've been hearing reports of them in some of the most urban areas
here lately. I read an article that said the eastern coyote is larger
than the western, more bold, and could be cross-bred with wolves.

Coyotes have reached eastern Newfoundland. No one quite knows how they got
across the Cabot Strait - swimming (!!!) and balancing on ice pans in the
winter are two suggestions. I find the very idea of coyotes here
astonishing - I associate them with cowboys and the American southwest -
but here they are.

If they're cross-bred with wolves, they did it before they came here as
there are no wolves on the island.

Coincidentally, there was a news report on TV just this morning about pets
recently being attacked here in Houston and the surrounding areas.

Hugs,

Larger - yes.

More bold - not really; the western variety has all the chutzpah
any animal is entitled to.

Cross-bred with wolves -- I've never heard of it; I expect it's
just rumor engendered by the larger size.

Nope there are no coyotes in this part of west TN.

Coyotes have been seen in Overton Park. If they have them there, they
have them everywhere in the county.

Hell with coyotes come to Florida we got bears, cougars, bobcats, and the
most dangerous species out there it is called the I can't see over the
