I am so upset with my Mother
She keeps on getting cats and they keep on getting eaten by coyotes. I tell her, "Keep the cats inside!"..but noooo, she has to let them go outside and they vanish.
She has lost five cats to coyotes in the ten years she has lived in the country.

2. I don't know

Heh.
Poor "Roon" would plotz if (he/she/it) knew what I'm off to do in a week or so....

Must not be any trees where her mother is. Our cats are smart enough to use a really tricky evasive maneuver involving the verb "Climb." Don't want to give too much away in case any 'yote sympathizers might be reading this.
Bobcats, on the other hand, are kind of tough on them, but though there are some in the area and they are very roughly the same size as a coyote, they don't come in close to the house to predate the useless housecats.

Apparently mom is doing her part to help keep the wildlife from starving as humans encroach upon their natural habitats and steal it from them. She should be applauded for doing her level best to both reduce the cat infestation and the wild animal starvation that is so prevalent in this country.

According to DUmmies, its an honor for an endangered species to eat your pet. They should be celebrating.

Her mom is republican, that must make the coyotes democrat...
...because they keep coming back looking for a free meal.

Coyotes gotta eat too.

I know quite a few DUmmies I'd be honored to feed to the California Condors. The condors probably wouldn't be too happy about it, though.

43. cats are not endangered, they are an overpopulation, it is the right of the hawk to defend its territory and to feed
it is an honor to have your cat eaten by a hawk

Five in ten years? I could see if it was five cats gone in ten months.
Our cat used to be an outdoor cat, when she was a kitten before we got her. She still wants to go out and kill the odd chipmunk or squirrel. My wife has a coyote fur ruff on the hood of a winter coat I got her from Cabela's, and the first time Oreo smelled it, she was not happy. Really on edge. Once I put the coat away, the cat calmed down. I expect the scene to repeat itself when the coat comes out for the first time this year . . .

I wonder if there's a Boy or Girl Scout Merit Badge for feeding pets to wildlife?

It's an ACORN Merit Badge. Right next to "Voter Fr . . . er, Signups."
