I guess they have not been too successful if they consider pets to be a primary food source.....one small dog and possibly a couple of cats on lanais. The cats could just have easily been snatched by a larger sized stray dog, in my opinion. So I believe eventually they will move on to surrounding area which are less inhabited and where they will find abundant shelter and prey.
Relax. The sky is not falling.

I doubt it. They usually will stay where the food source is. And where there's people, there's food sources. They are being seen in big cities now. But, ignore them if you wish. I do.....at least until they threaten me or mine.
