Tal, are all the cat snatchings you mentioned fact or are some of them rumours?
It was reported that the man who lost his unleashed dog saw a coyote.
I'm wondering whether the villain in the cat snatchings could be a feral dog, a gator, a bob cat or even a possum? We have some large possums in our back yard.
Had large possums up north. They could tear through screens, soffits, and siding easily. And once they got into the attic it was home. But I hever heard of them carrying off a dog or cat.

There are so many inconsistencies to this tale that I'm sure by Halloween it will have morphed into a ghost story.
