I believe it was probably a coyote, because no other animal here would have been fast and powerful enough to grab Timmer before he could get away and come back in through the cat door to the lanai. I had not realized Timmer was in danger, or I would not have let him go in and out at night through the cat door; I thought he was safe with the screen door shut tight, the lanai and birdcage well screened, and a cat door to escape back into the house if something scared him. We are heartbroken; he was a beautiful, sweet young cat and we loved him very much. I'm writing to warn other cat & small dog owners of this terrible danger. http://lawmarkets.com/images/10-2-sc...-by-coyote.jpg http://lawmarkets.com/images/timmer.jpg


Have you lost TWO cats to coyotes here in The Villages?
