Given that we have one pet owner who lost both of her Siamese cats from the lanai to marauding coyotes, it might be worth considering errors made.
1. Assume that your pets are safe because you are using common sense.
2. Avoid research regarding what coyotes are capable of scoping out, scaling, penetrating or digging through to get to your cats.
3. Trust what you are told by so called authorities who promote minimalist protection programs under the guise of "living with urban coyotes."
4. Fail to know your enemy with regard to the speed of kill. Do not watch...
Coyotes no longer just home on the range, but also in St. Pete
