@walt, flag your kitty came back. I lost a cat go a coyote once which instantly turned all my cats to indoor cats. I have coyotes out back every day. I shoot them in the a s s with a pellet gun but the still come by just not as close.
We have only indoor cats for that reason. Life expectancy of an outdoor cat in our area was two years before the coyotes moved in. Our light poles are no longer peppered with missing cat signs, so I infer more people have started keeping their cats indoors as well.
Funny how nature cycles. We used to have a lot of wild phesants in this area, but the possums moved in and wiped them out by eating their eggs. Then the raccoons moved in and ate the possums, followed by the coyotes who eat the possums, racoons, cats, rats, et al.

You would think, but my last dog's mother chased a coyote into the surrounding forest to retrieve a hen it grabbed, only to be surrounded and killed by the rest of the pack.
42F 90% RH, rain, and predicted to reach 48F.
More "unlawful assemblies" (riots with destruction) with one group cornering cops and stealing their bicycle. They also cornered the reinforcements, but according to the news, yet more reinforcements and smoke grenades allowed the "police officers to escape". Oh wow, sure glad they were able to escape without popping a cap is some thug's ass or worse yet, offending their sensibilities.
Except for one strange looking dude who would look at home holding up an anarchist sign, the remaining seven destructive rioters arrested are young pimply faced odd looking pukes about college age, reeking of organization.
Another pickup and a Jeep load of scrap metal to recycle and one load accumulating for the dump. Today looks like rain, so maybe I will take a hauling break and just concentrate on sorting and organization. I figured I would be more stove up the second morning, but fortunately not much worse than usual.
