Cats are too used to bullying domesticated Dogs who are too good natured to fight, or eat tiny mice and think theyre all badass until they step into the forest and end up being a chew toy. Those tiny little claws dont amount to much when a Coyote has them by the back and is shaking them around like a rag doll. They best do their strutting at home and be a big frog in a small puddle.
@@jaromor8808No, they are an invasive species that is rapidly multiplying faster than the local wildlife can. They kill everything, and they kill for sport not survival.
I lived in Canyon Country CA and at night during the summer all you’d hear were the coyotes howling and tearing up screaming cats and dogs who were left out over night by the neighbors. I can’t believe people would be that neglectful and cruel.
I disagree. It’s not about neglect and cruelty. I collected my two boys from a shelter. So I had no choice in who they already were. One is definitely an indoor/outdoor cat. To keep him imprisoned would be cruel, not to mention the repairs to my home from an angry, bored, and stressed out kitty. So they have a door where they can come and go as they please. And I have made my peace that one day he may not come home. But I love him enough to allow him to roam and live a richer life, if a bit shorter. He survived one 24 hour period of being missing. I’m sure he got treed by the local coyotes until they finally gave up and left. He came limping home a day later and a much wiser cat. However as the years have passed he stays more and more around home. People who allow their cats some freedom are not cruel. They know the risks. So do the cats. It’s an imperfect world. Cats with freedom have shorter lifespans. Cats imprisoned inside homes live much more barren and tortured lives.
@@CX0909 Yup. Young kids aren't going to be left outside at night to fend for themselves. Cats, on the other hand, are nocturnal creatures that when used to being out at night anytime they want, will make your life miserable scratching and squalling at the door until you let them out. It's their nature, and if a cat has smarts, it can learn to take care of itself and not get et. If not, well, animals will be animals.
We've dealt with coyotes at our place for 42 years. If not for them we'd be overrun with rabbits, rats, and mice. We also have had, and have, many cats. They stay indoors, handle any rodents (and scorpions, and centipedes) that get inside, and the birds outside are safe. Anyone who lets their cat outside in coyote country is guilty of criminal laziness.
Coyotes are a nuisance in any rural or suburban area. More so than cats as coyotes can harm humans as well as livestock. All should be shot on site. No questions asked.
That "unusual" number of cat that enter the forest are ABANDONED cats, meaning they are being dumped there by people who don't want them anymore which is cruel and heartless because those are domesticated cats, house cats that don't know how to protect themselves against predators such as coyotes.
Not necessarily. Many of these cats are pets that owners allow to roam at large, without one thought to how destructive their "pet" is to the environment. Coyotes aren't even the worst thing that happens to these "pets". Cars, disease, poison, dogs, people using them for target practice, and so many other hazards that guarantee that pet cats allowed out unsupervised are going to have a short life. Cat owners should be held at least to the same standards as dog owners. They should be confined at home, licensed, mandated to be vaccinated for rabies, and owners held liable for any destruction they cause. Both dog and cat owners should receive high fines and worse with more infractions. They should have their pets confiscated and make them ineligible to have any more for set lengths of time. People should be forced to understand the responsibility of owning a pet, it should cost them to be irresponsible. Until owners-who are the problem, always, are made to feel it in the pocketbook, things will never change. Most people who own pets shouldn't be allowed to. Humane laws need to be enforced! Perhaps children should learn the responsibility of owning a pet in school, since so many of their parents don't have the knowledge to teach them. We need to stop letting people assume that pets are disposable.
@@bonnieharris8855 absolutely. Cats in the suburbs kill millions of birds and don't eat them. I'd rather have coyotes any day. Even though I have a pair of dashund dogs
I dont understand people who let their pets run around outside KNOWING that there are Coyotes around, and then freak out when they see their pets get taken away by a Coyote. No f****** common sense!!!!
I don't understand the people who don't understand that feral cats exist and have existed in North America since before the first pilgrims landed here.
A well fed house cat will go out and kill whatever it can without eating it, they will wipe out a nest of rabbits or whatever just to kill. The coyote on the other hand kills to survive. The cat should not be out in the first place.
But won't that also benefit other animals? For example, in this video, the skunk and rabbit follow the same path as the cat. So, in theory, they get to eat the leftovers from the cat's hunt. Additionally, the video shows that the coyote spared the lives of the skunk and rabbit because it caught the cat.
While going to school, I worked security at a housing complex that sits in the unincorporated area of Los Gatos, CA. My weekend shift was Swing and and one night of Graveyard. Every time I worked through the wee hours of the morning, I'd see one or two coyotes strolling past the gate area. Over the year that I worked there, I believe about 3 small dogs and no less than 8 cats were killed by the pack that roamed the neighborhood. If you live on the edge of a wooded area, always take your pets in at night, and/or don't leave them outside in the yard, if you're not going to be monitoring them for hours. Coyotes are smart as heck and will either hop fences, or lure your pet off the property. Heck, I hear they even occasionally go for medium size dogs, if the pack is large enough.
I’ve heard that coyotes will set up ambushes. They will send a single smaller coyote to tease a cat / dog until the prey chases them, the bait coyote will then flee leading the pursuer into an ambush where multiple coyotes will attack the cat.
@@jazzypoo7960 some parts of the States they act like pack animals. You'll be surprise of the unknown that happens. Get a large powerful LGD (Kangal/Akbash/Alabai dog) and a buddy. LGDs killed them with ease.
I can't stress that enough. You're correct. So many cat owners are so irresponsible. We don't want your animals out in the wild and they have no right to be. This is what happens.
Exactly, if you can’t bare the sight of having to scrape their pancaked corpse off the road or getting munched on by a coyote, bear, mountain lion, or somebody’s dog keep them inside. Besides it’s not just things that can kill it, cats kill native wildlife and it does have a nasty ecological effect on small mammal and bird populations.
Do you think coyotes don't eat the same things as cats? They eat exactly the same species, or even more, because they are larger and have a greater appetite. They attack pets, and smaller dogs are also on their menu. They kill birds, chicks and eat bird eggs whenever they can. In the villages they eat goats, sheep, chickens and ducks. Additionally, they breed like rabbits and are an invasive species. And you say a coyote is better than a cat because you probably think it eats grass.
that's the difference between pets and wild animals, I do think the result will be different if it's a lynx or even a smaller wild cat@@infinitydreamzz
@@xiyanedu you're probably right, housecats are completely unfamiliar with fighting for survival and wild instincts are dormant due to lack of use, but still weird because the cat put one paw between the coyote's eyes so the sharp claws were literally an inch away from the coyote's eyes. Btw, a coyote would not dare do this to an adult lynx, lynxes are big powerful cats bested only by mountain lions, not even a wolf would seriously attack one
@@xiyanedu A lynx would probably shred a coyotes face off. If you put a cat and a dog (coyote) of the same weight class the dog would suffer immeasurably, because 1v1 all things being equal a dog has no business fucking with a cat.. A housecat and a coyote are a mismatch .
Trail cameras are amazing! Most people have no idea what goes on at night, even in the city. Mine has recorded a surprising variety of wildlife in my backyard over the years. Everybody should own at least one!
Agreed!! I live in rural South Ontario, Canada and we don’t get any Moose down here….But a few years back we captured one on our trail cam, we were surprised to see him on the footage! I guess sometimes they do get “lost”?😬👋🏼🇨🇦
I keep my Mutzhus inside at night. They go off at night running around inside barking. But yes I do know there are Coyotes roaming at night. In the city. BUT if I had a pair of Wolfhounds or Deerhounds? Or mayby even two or three Belgian Tervuren. If they want outside. Then outside you go. I would even leave door open for them to come and go. But they also might run into skunk? Hopefully only once.
Coyotes are masters at avoiding contact with humans. An animal control associate told me there were about a half dozen of them in our neighborhood responsible for the disappearance of small pets in the area. We had no idea.
Masters of staying just out of reach, maybe. If they really think they've got you with numbers, they'll try to ambush your dogs on a walk, the elderly who are almost dead, and little children. Or bears who have already been terminally injured. They're not shy about trying to draw your animals away from you. Or harassing livestock.
If you have pet cats and want them to enjoy the outdoors safely, consider building a catio. That way it keeps your cats safe from predators and cats don't harm the birds, at least with covered cage catios. Cats can still get to smaller animals if they come into their catio, like mice. But better to keep our pets contained inside mostly in such wild country. The Coyote probably had a family to feed too. There are lots of house cats. When food could be scarce, wild predators take what they can get. They're just trying to survive. I know the killing isn't pretty. Domestic animals outnumber wildlife a lot more. Humans and their animals are wiping out wildlife numbers. But then, people who wipe out wolves make the coyotes numbers go up. And there are ways to protect livestock. Get Kangal dogs for example for sheep. Or llamas or donkeys to help guard livestock. Or lots of good guarding dogs around livestock. There are ways to deter wild predators without killing them.
Yup. In the Africa game reserves they used to kill the wild dogs. Not clever as nature is tough and all animals make up the world. They didn't kill all the hippos. And hippos kill a lot of people. Crocs too. And even my worst wild animal the mosquito has a place in food chain
My neighbor's cat was attacked by two coyotes in his backyard, he said the cat gave out a horrible screech and his pit bull ran out of the doggie door to see what was going on, and by the time my neighbor got there, the pit had one of the coyotes by neck and was doing a death shake on it, and the other coyote ran when he saw my neighbor. The cat was bit up but survived, and the pit bull badly mauled the coyote, there was blood everywhere. He tried getting his dog to stop, but the dog wasn't having it. He said eventually the coyote got loose and ran off. Apparently the coyote was no match for the dog. I've noticed more coyotes lately and they're becoming increasingly emboldened. They use to run when you walked toward them. Now they stand their ground and challenge you. We live in L.A. County... I just can't remember it being this bad. They serve an important role in the local ecosystem, but they're becoming a serious nuisance and a threat to public safety.
@@chateaupig826 You don't understand habituation. Coyotes are in many ways like rats. They are opportunistic and will follow humans into urban areas for easy food, i.e., it's easier to tip over a trash can for food rather than track and hunt rodents. Read more, friend.
Or my neighbor. He was trapping cats and shooting them. 4 were people's pets that got out, had ID'S on and he didn't care. He hates animals walking in his yard. The guy is a fruitcake.
@@bbaff8622 , these were not indoor/ outdoor cats. Two I know were let out by a repairman, who apparently left the door wide open when going to his truck. I always shut my cats in a room when I have company, especially with kids, or repair people here.
When I was young a coyote killed my beloved cat Fat Butt. Since then I’ve been tormented by the way he was found torn in half like this. I always feared his death was terrible and painful. I’m glad to see this was more merciful than I imagined. I always hoped either his throat was squeezed rendering him unconscious and killing him or that he quickly went into shock and didn’t feel everything. This video was an unexpected relief for my heart. Love your forever Fat Butt.
Get yourself a small caliber rifle like a .22 and slow 22 rounds. They are not as loud for the neighbors. Next time you see one., put about 3 rounds in him and drop him. Don't chose to be helpless and victim. Make them the hunted. Pay back for Fatt Butt
I've lost 2 to Coyotes and not because i'm an irresponsible Cat Owner. Both times they got loose.Different locations, different decades. When they get a mind to run, it's on. I opened the door and he shot past me. He rarely went outside. Sucks because both were wonderful Cats
This is a great example of the battle of the fittest. If people have cats they care about you can’t just allow them to roam around areas where there are other predators.
NO. I know what you are saying if it is a wandering cat but its not of the fittest. These are house cats used to maybe catching a mouse or bird NOT confront large predators. Some A hole dropped these cats off after they grew from cute kittens and having to actually take care of an animal was too much. Sickening when there are no kill shelters and people to take care of them. I have a feral cat and rescue cats like these so no damn static from A holes.
@@carfvallrightsreservedwith6649 Hey Karen, coyotes DO belong there, NOT domestic HOUSEcats!!! Emphasis on HOUSE cats. If anything, shoot every single housecat running loose you see!! Here in the country, when some city idiot moves in and let's Fluffy or Mittens or any other names they give these holy terrors, loose around here, there are a few people who gut shoot them so they go home and cost their owners a pile of money at the veterinary. These people letting their domestic cats outside, thinking it's so cute that Fluffy brought me a dead baby rabbit are the ones to blame for this crap!!! NOT the natural animals THAT BELONG THERE!! BTW, is way more than only coyotes eating cats, look around on CZcams and you'll find countless other WILD animals that BELONG there, catching these cats and killing them!! Just on CZcams I've found many videos of cats being killed by too many animals to list!! Just go to search on CZcams and you'll find them!! These lazy and seriously demented cat owners who don't take responsible care of their pets are the ones who should be punished, not nature!! Now, how many of you cat owners want to argue truth???
Cats shouldnt be allowed to roam free because they are non-native species and kill native species in droves. One country makes it illegal to let you cat go outside for this reason. If my dog ran free I’d catch all kinds of hell from neighbors but its ok for their cat to roam?
My parents had a mouser cat (natural hunter) who they would allow out. They originally had two cats but one got hit by a car. We always thought it was a mistake to let them roam free. After my parents died we corralled the mouser and now she is strictly an indoor cat. I think she misses the outdoors but TOO EFFING BAD!
@@j5892000The difference is that many of those birds are native of the area, while cats are most definitely an invasive species that kill prey in disproportionately higher numbers compared to other predators in the area. Also, most of those birds eat insects and fruits/seeds. So not exactly a super predator behavior.
A coyotes job is to trick cats into thinking cats are badass. Coyotes will at times jump around cats, run off a bit, etc. Coyotes also understand when these kitties are somewhat safe, around humans and houses. Then when found alone, the cat will think the coyote will again be timid around it...quick meal for the coyote. Checkmate.
This is the video I'm going to share with people who think it's OK to keep their cats outside. Bottom line, it's not. They'll either end up as coyote scat or kill indigenous birds or both. Cats belong indoors.
@@LarryFleetwood8675so you can kill them then. With guns. It is hunting season on cats. Because cats aren't pets if it is in their nature to be outside and destroy nature. Are cats pets that live inside or wild animals that live outside? You can't have double standards
@@dogifish0078 You're not too bright, they're pets and they live inside as well it's their nature to be outside as well. That doesn't mean they can be shot.
Whaaaaat ? . Shooting a child's beloved pet, or an old lady that has no one ? Cats get out sometimes. Dum Dums leave gates open.I know little minds and their affinity with Guns and destruction. I love Dogs and Cats. I know the healing power they have on children, soldiers with PTSD.Just average decent people. All these comments from limp di**s is really weak. I love the wild animals too. Even that Coyote. People that just swerve at Cats and poison, shoot, whatever are sadistic cowards that are in need of some serious boot therapy. Myself , and some of the boys i grew up with and that served, love pets. Some of us even Hunt. Straighten out and fly right man. Get out of the basement once in a while. get back in the game. You don't got to join the team, but you don't root against it either.
Made me a little sad to think that some of these cats were pets given by the collars. I’m sure their owners would be devastated to know. 😢 However, this was very well documented
Ikr - i can't even begin to imagine what it would be like if I saw a video of my pet being killed like this - I don't think I'd be able to function ! My heart goes out to the cat's owners ❤
@@blackpowder4016 Think about the wildlife that gets free scraps from a cat's hunt. If the owner doesn't get the "gift," other animals like coyotes, skunks, or rabbits will benefit from the free food.
Thanks for the warning. I couldn't watch this. People in my community are always complaining of their cats going missing. Yes, we live in the suburbs and coyotes are a problem. Please don't let your kitties stay outside. It bothers me that so many people consider cats' lives about as useful as a rodent. They are precious lives and companions just as much as dogs.
Coyotes are not a damn problem! They sure as hell where here before us. This idea that nature is a problem makes me laugh! It is our duty are humans with a rationing mind to give our pets protection. This does not include the need to kill all wild life.
You would be surprised how many people will shoot or poison cats that venture onto their property. And then there are those who purposefully swerve their car to hit any critter crossing the street. Depending on the area, I doubt coyote predation is at the top of the list for why kitties go missing. Also, outdoor cats tend to have several "homes" unbeknownst to the owner. Lots of neighborhood people will feed the cat and let it come indoors if it wants to and they may end up just keeping it.
@@PewGoBoomLife You actually edited that lol ? I actually agree. Everything has its place. Keep them Kitties and Small Doggies inside if you care about them. I eschew the killing of Mountain lions and Bears. Relocation is much more positive alternative................ and yes, they were here before us.
@DangerRussDayZ6533 that is me. I hate cats so much that I will never miss an opportunity to kill them when I can. You've been warned. Keep those trash animals inside.
Excellent video, this is a warning to small pets owners, coyote is not a fault, humans have the responsibility to keep small pets inside specially at night
A few months ago, while walking in a local park, I found the front two-thirds or so of a cat skull, with the face still intact. This in a urbanized area of Lakewood, WA. A coyote hit, almost certainly, I now refer to that trail as "cat-head trail."
If you are getting a cat, keep it in-doors only people. Yes this isn't always easy or possible, but whenever is is, do so. In-door cats live twice as long, contract less parasites, and have less expensive vet bills. Moreover out-door cats contribute to the over hunting of wildlife like birds, reptiles frogs and more. They also can potentially spread diseases to wildlife. If you think only a wolf or mountain lion can kill a house cat, your wrong. Fisher cats and even occasionally raccoons can kill house cats, not to mention hawks, cars, dogs and more.
Keep them indoors to prevent them from breeding and overpopulating your area. Since the 10 feral Cats moved in, all the other wildlife that used to hang around on my property are gone. Nothing but freaken Cats everywhere breeding and singing kareoke under my window at night. About 10 of them need to disappear so the birds, squirrels, ground hog coons and possums come back.
As cold as it is to say, I truly enjoyed living the last few years in a community with a healthy coyote population. I love cats, but it was amazing to see such a healthy bird population. Fix 'em and keep 'em indoors folks.
@ivanandivanovich: And... no endless cat fights at 01:00 in the morn, not to mention all the cats crappin in your flower garden, etc., etc., the list goes on!
Bird populations are actually healthiest in regions with high cat populations. Cats control non-native rodents that quickly decimate bird populations. Cats are vitally important as an obligate carnivorous mesopredator
@@davidvaughn7752 my source is what I have seen out in the field and numerous reliable studies done into the subject of cat predation. I’ve got hundreds of domestic cats in my area and birds are absolutely thriving. We’ve had numerous successful broods and even some threatened species have returned (skylark being one of them). In the northern hemisphere domestic cats fulfil a crucial role as a hypercarnivorous mesopredator. They control the numbers of rats and squirrels and in response bird populations increase. The increase in bird populations as a result of the control and elimination of invasive rodent species in turn feeds species that specialise in songbird predation (sparrowhawks). I’ve also planted hundreds of native rowan and hawthorn which have already fed hundreds of thousands of wintering fieldfares and redwing and hope to grow seeding plants to help threatened seed eaters such as greenfinch. So stop complaining about a subject you know next to nothing about and actually do your own research and help your local wildlife. www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9794845/
@@davidvaughn7752 anyway cats have been here for 2,000 years and haven’t contributed to a single extinction. Nothing you say will ever change that scientific fact
i don't think the cat that was killed was white -- if you look at the footage of the coyote travelling in front of one of the trail cameras after it killed the cat, you can see stripes on the end of its tail, which would suggest the cat was ginger/red/orange as solid orange cats naturally have incomplete tabby markings like that without having any genes for tabby patterns.
The cat has very little defence against a coyote. All a cat's claws can do is scratch and its teeth, puncture. So it gets by, by warning animals with a short moment of pain but if the animal doesn't care about that then it can't do much else. And so many cats go out to start a fight instead of minding their own business.
I've numerous times found the remains of cats in our hood, and then a couple days later you see the flyer go up, and you get the fun of having to tell the people you found a leg. Numerous times I've heard people say... "Well, better they lived free". Umm... This is L.A. geniuses... They don't need to be "free". Put your cats inside at night.
Oh you'd be surprised. Idjits and hoarders, some of them have letters around their names, people you'd otherwise think intelligent, but the birds and coyote are who belong.
Our neighbor "the Cat Lady" died and left 27 Cats running around. All she did was leave them outside and let them breed. The guy in the apartment downstairs was feeding Kittens to his big Snake.
About 8 years ago I bought a house on several acres that borders a river. Right away I noticed that there were no small animals or birds. But I did notice there were a lot of feral cats. So I began a program. I never miss a cat. .17 HM2, suppressed. I’m well over 150 probably closer to 200, I lost count. At first, I was getting five or six a week, sometimes two in a night now I’m lucky to get one a month. But now I have small animals, including rabbits, squirrels, and also birds, which include ducks, doves, quail, and songbirds. I’ve even noticed muskrats in the river now.
Sophie, Thank you for your comments. There are over 50 videos of El Moro Elfin Forest animals on my channel. This is the only one that shows "harsh reality". I encourage you to enjoy the rest.
Hello from Oklahoma! Interesting Video. It's pretty obvious to me that was a fairly young coyote by how long it took to kill the cat. An older coyote would've known exactly what to do with its meal. Plus, he/she took a look around to make sure another coyote or animal wasn't going to steal its meal. With successes like this, this young coyote will be something in a year. People need to realize this goes on in suburban areas. Keep your pets inside at night or one day they won't come home.
This is true. We had a bad feral cat problem in the country side and very low game bird population. A GW told us if we see any cats, not bobs or lynx, shoot them.
Coyotes wipe out the Quail, Turkey and Grouse populations though when they over populate. When I was a boy we had Quail, and Turkeys in abundance, then the Coyote population exploded and the birds went nearly extinct. Then the state offered a $3 bounty on Coyotes and the numbers were culled back enough to allow the birds to recover.
Absolutly not true for I've had 11 freal cats over 45 yr period only one a sylvester female did catch severa bids butshe new I didn't like it the others some super mousers never caught birds...! In fact I will say feral cats are what keep mouse & rats populations down as well as chipmonks and red sqirrels they do a real job with them esp around homes and farm areas...!
The sound the cat made was heartbreaking. Nature can be so cruel. But the coyote is doing what it's natural drive to survive dictates. I was walking to work months ago and a massive pack of coyotes crossed the street just ahead of me. When I got to where they crossed there was a solitary one that looked to me like it was alone. It ended up walking beside me for a while. Almost felt like it needed my company.
I wonder if this was a young and inexperienced coyote. It didn't seem to have much crushing power in its jaws. I also wonder why it wasn't shaking the cat. Shaking prey disorients it, helps destroy tissue (In this case, it might have broken the cat's neck.) and is a predator mainstay. I love all animals, so footage of any animal being hurt disturbs me, but the struggle for life and athleticism involved is super interesting. What an active area you found to place the camera! Thank you.
@@deboradesaint-d4611 Souvent, lorsqu'un animal est blessé dans une telle situation, il se bat plus violemment.

Mais dans tous les cas, si l'une des égratignures a blessé le coyote, il n'a pas répondu avec un niveau de violence plus élevé. Merci pour votre commentaire réfléchi!
I am sure there are some that view this as so cruel. However, cats basically prey on so many other smaller animals in very similar ways without care. Animal do such things to survive and feed their hunger. We are having a problem with the neighbor's cat trying to get to a birdhouse on our front porch at night with baby Blue Birds inside. They trigger the door bell camera. Just animals doing what animals do...
@@jeremywanner4526 lol, use your common sense instead of reading books from bird lovers that portray cats as the boogyman to birds. Predators such as the two I mentioned are more efficient hunters than the cat, they can climb up and down trees at will. Cats can't. Most cats will not prey on squirrels or rats because the prey will fight back. If cats are responsible for millions of wildlife deaths, than the weasel is responsible for billions of wildlife deaths because the weasel is many times more efficient killer than the cat.
@andrew-es7fn; You are totally wrong by 100% because feral cats kill many bird species which coyotes do not ! just ask any Australian or Hawaiian resident. When I was at Fresno State University in central California the stray cat problem became so bad that they brought in foxes and had Animal Control set up cat traps to take care of the problem !. Another problem is cat lovers feeding stray cats.
@@DerrickDeitz yeah it probably is, but that doesn't negate my point. if a feral cat can't survive out there, how do people expect their pet cat to do any better? this video is just a good example showing the reality of nature, which has no sympathy for domesticated animals
Cat's are a bit arrogant. That's the only way this coyote got anywhere near it. I'm surprised the coyote isn't all that efficient at dispatching it. I had a cat killing dog and the cat's were dead within seconds of him getting ahold of them.
This is the first time I’ve seen a trailcamera video with voice narration. It felt calming and I enjoyed it. Brought back childhood storytelling vibes. I randomly came upon this video and Im glad I did. Put me in a better mood today. Haha.
Okami, This is a very unusual video on the game trail I observe. My other 50 videos show animals coming and going nonviolently. You might find them genuinely calming.
No matter how tough people think their pets are, they can never match the aggressiveness or determination of a hungry wild animal.
Cats are too used to bullying domesticated Dogs who are too good natured to fight, or eat tiny mice and think theyre all badass until they step into the forest and end up being a chew toy. Those tiny little claws dont amount to much when a Coyote has them by the back and is shaking them around like a rag doll. They best do their strutting at home and be a big frog in a small puddle.

We've dealt with coyotes at our place for 42 years. If not for them we'd be overrun with rabbits, rats, and mice. We also have had, and have, many cats. They stay indoors, handle any rodents (and scorpions, and centipedes) that get inside, and the birds outside are safe.
Anyone who lets their cat outside in coyote country is guilty of criminal laziness.
So are the people who abandon cats is areas where coyotes roam.
Coyotes are a nuisance in any rural or suburban area. More so than cats as coyotes can harm humans as well as livestock. All should be shot on site. No questions asked.
@@joeoliver757 all depends on the area.
Amen.
Coyotes are a nuisance.
That "unusual" number of cat that enter the forest are ABANDONED cats, meaning they are being dumped there by people who don't want them anymore which is cruel and heartless because those are domesticated cats, house cats that don't know how to protect themselves against predators such as coyotes.
Not necessarily. Many of these cats are pets that owners allow to roam at large, without one thought to how destructive their "pet" is to the environment. Coyotes aren't even the worst thing that happens to these "pets". Cars, disease, poison, dogs, people using them for target practice, and so many other hazards that guarantee that pet cats allowed out unsupervised are going to have a short life.
Cat owners should be held at least to the same standards as dog owners. They should be confined at home, licensed, mandated to be vaccinated for rabies, and owners held liable for any destruction they cause. Both dog and cat owners should receive high fines and worse with more infractions. They should have their pets confiscated and make them ineligible to have any more for set lengths of time. People should be forced to understand the responsibility of owning a pet, it should cost them to be irresponsible. Until owners-who are the problem, always, are made to feel it in the pocketbook, things will never change.
Most people who own pets shouldn't be allowed to. Humane laws need to be enforced! Perhaps children should learn the responsibility of owning a pet in school, since so many of their parents don't have the knowledge to teach them. We need to stop letting people assume that pets are disposable.
You must be psychic and all knowing
@@bonnieharris8855 absolutely.
Cats in the suburbs kill millions of birds and don't eat them. I'd rather have coyotes any day. Even though I have a pair of dashund dogs
@@peetsnort Only that coyotes would attack and eat your pets and even attack young kids too.
@@bonnieharris8855totally agree in this video you get see some cats with collar
I dont understand people who let their pets run around outside KNOWING that there are Coyotes around, and then freak out when they see their pets get taken away by a Coyote. No f****** common sense!!!!
Good job 👍
They don't think. Period. They live in a world of 'it won't happen to me'. And then it does happen to them.
These are often abandoned pets
True so sad
I don't understand the people who don't understand that feral cats exist and have existed in North America since before the first pilgrims landed here.
A well fed house cat will go out and kill whatever it can without eating it, they will wipe out a nest of rabbits or whatever just to kill. The coyote on the other hand kills to survive. The cat should not be out in the first place.
Yes they should. Ppl like you want 2 turn this planet intro giant zoo where all animals aren't free nor wild.
Yes right question or point I hate cats anyway there cute but I like dogs more
But won't that also benefit other animals? For example, in this video, the skunk and rabbit follow the same path as the cat. So, in theory, they get to eat the leftovers from the cat's hunt. Additionally, the video shows that the coyote spared the lives of the skunk and rabbit because it caught the cat.
Facts💥👍
...So will a coyote. You think a coyote is just gonna take one baby rabbit? Lmao or nest of ducklings etc? No, they're going to kill them all.
While going to school, I worked security at a housing complex that sits in the unincorporated area of Los Gatos, CA. My weekend shift was Swing and and one night of Graveyard. Every time I worked through the wee hours of the morning, I'd see one or two coyotes strolling past the gate area. Over the year that I worked there, I believe about 3 small dogs and no less than 8 cats were killed by the pack that roamed the neighborhood. If you live on the edge of a wooded area, always take your pets in at night, and/or don't leave them outside in the yard, if you're not going to be monitoring them for hours. Coyotes are smart as heck and will either hop fences, or lure your pet off the property. Heck, I hear they even occasionally go for medium size dogs, if the pack is large enough.
I’ve heard that coyotes will set up ambushes. They will send a single smaller coyote to tease a cat / dog until the prey chases them, the bait coyote will then flee leading the pursuer into an ambush where multiple coyotes will attack the cat.
Coyotes are not "pack" animals.
@@jazzypoo7960 some parts of the States they act like pack animals. You'll be surprise of the unknown that happens. Get a large powerful LGD (Kangal/Akbash/Alabai dog) and a buddy. LGDs killed them with ease.
@@fluffyusa Please ask a biologist, wolves are pack animals and coyotes are not.
@@jazzypoo7960 I've seen a pack of coyotes attacking a good sized Chow in the middle a suburban street.
Bottom line if you care about the welfare and safety and love your cat please keep it safe in your home! 😿
I can't stress that enough. You're correct. So many cat owners are so irresponsible. We don't want your animals out in the wild and they have no right to be. This is what happens.
Exactly, if you can’t bare the sight of having to scrape their pancaked corpse off the road or getting munched on by a coyote, bear, mountain lion, or somebody’s dog keep them inside. Besides it’s not just things that can kill it, cats kill native wildlife and it does have a nasty ecological effect on small mammal and bird populations.
@@lufsolitaire5351 The last thing you said is a lie.
@@tonyprice2256 Bullsh1t! Go look up how cats, both feral and domestic, are desimating wildlife in Australia. Hell, they're a problem in Florida.
agree😺
Looks like that cat is declawed. Or else it would scratch the heck out of that coyote. Never declawed your house cat.
Yeah great point, cause that kitty probably would’ve had a surviving chance in that fight with that coyote if it still had its claws!
I genuinely hate people who declaw their cats
I was wondering why the coyote still could see. I have seen other videos where one swipe of a cat's paw send a coyote running
lol you don’t know the power of hunger makes wild animals become supernatural
@@YiScarfkeep your stupid cat in your property stupid they kill small animals that feed the predators in the wild
If you allow your cat to live like a wild animal it will die like a wild animal.
Plot twist. The rabbit hired the coyote to kill the cat.
Do you think coyotes don't eat the same things as cats? They eat exactly the same species, or even more, because they are larger and have a greater appetite. They attack pets, and smaller dogs are also on their menu. They kill birds, chicks and eat bird eggs whenever they can. In the villages they eat goats, sheep, chickens and ducks. Additionally, they breed like rabbits and are an invasive species. And you say a coyote is better than a cat because you probably think it eats grass.
Oooooo, that waskly wabbit!
roadrunner : i’m still the winner 😂
That cat put up quite a fight too. I was surprised how long he stayed alive.
I'm surprised the cat didn't scratch the coyote's eyes out, since they were such an easy target
Wasn't a fight..........just a cat being slowly suffocated by a cayote
that's the difference between pets and wild animals, I do think the result will be different if it's a lynx or even a smaller wild cat@@infinitydreamzz
@@xiyanedu you're probably right, housecats are completely unfamiliar with fighting for survival and wild instincts are dormant due to lack of use, but still weird because the cat put one paw between the coyote's eyes so the sharp claws were literally an inch away from the coyote's eyes. Btw, a coyote would not dare do this to an adult lynx, lynxes are big powerful cats bested only by mountain lions, not even a wolf would seriously attack one
@@xiyanedu A lynx would probably shred a coyotes face off.
If you put a cat and a dog (coyote) of the same weight class the dog would suffer immeasurably, because 1v1 all things being equal a dog has no business fucking with a cat..
A housecat and a coyote are a mismatch .
Where I live, coyotes walk the streets at night. Don't let your cats out at night if you live in such a location. Basically, use common sense.
Coyotes walk most streets at night regardless of where people live.
Most cat owners lack common sense
Trail cameras are amazing! Most people have no idea what goes on at night, even in the city. Mine has recorded a surprising variety of wildlife in my backyard over the years. Everybody should own at least one!
Agreed!! I live in rural South Ontario, Canada and we don’t get any Moose down here….But a few years back we captured one on our trail cam, we were surprised to see him on the footage! I guess sometimes they do get “lost”?😬👋🏼🇨🇦
I keep my Mutzhus inside at night. They go off at night running around inside barking.
But yes I do know there are Coyotes roaming at night. In the city.
BUT if I had a pair of Wolfhounds or Deerhounds? Or mayby even two or three Belgian Tervuren.
If they want outside. Then outside you go. I would even leave door open for them to come and go.
But they also might run into skunk? Hopefully only once.
Yes, and they can be used as security cameras around your house as well.
@@koreyb Yeah. Some day i want to get at least 4 of them to position on each side of my house.
Which would u reccomended for people?? Affordable options?? Best options??
Coyotes are masters at avoiding contact with humans. An animal control associate told me there were about a half dozen of them in our neighborhood responsible for the disappearance of small pets in the area. We had no idea.
Masters of staying just out of reach, maybe.
If they really think they've got you with numbers, they'll try to ambush your dogs on a walk, the elderly who are almost dead, and little children.
Or bears who have already been terminally injured.
They're not shy about trying to draw your animals away from you.
Or harassing livestock.
Yes they are. They will lure family dogs in with one coyote and ambush it on the flanks with the rest of the pack.
They should be hunted down with drones and exterminated.
@@peasantsarerevolting9343 They do that with small children as well. When an adult human is not looking a coyote will go after a child.
That's a no brainer
If you have pet cats and want them to enjoy the outdoors safely, consider building a catio. That way it keeps your cats safe from predators and cats don't harm the birds, at least with covered cage catios. Cats can still get to smaller animals if they come into their catio, like mice. But better to keep our pets contained inside mostly in such wild country.
The Coyote probably had a family to feed too. There are lots of house cats. When food could be scarce, wild predators take what they can get. They're just trying to survive. I know the killing isn't pretty. Domestic animals outnumber wildlife a lot more. Humans and their animals are wiping out wildlife numbers. But then, people who wipe out wolves make the coyotes numbers go up.
And there are ways to protect livestock. Get Kangal dogs for example for sheep. Or llamas or donkeys to help guard livestock. Or lots of good guarding dogs around livestock. There are ways to deter wild predators without killing them.
Yup. In the Africa game reserves they used to kill the wild dogs. Not clever as nature is tough and all animals make up the world.
They didn't kill all the hippos. And hippos kill a lot of people. Crocs too.
And even my worst wild animal the mosquito has a place in food chain
My neighbor's cat was attacked by two coyotes in his backyard, he said the cat gave out a horrible screech and his pit bull ran out of the doggie door to see what was going on, and by the time my neighbor got there, the pit had one of the coyotes by neck and was doing a death shake on it, and the other coyote ran when he saw my neighbor. The cat was bit up but survived, and the pit bull badly mauled the coyote, there was blood everywhere. He tried getting his dog to stop, but the dog wasn't having it. He said eventually the coyote got loose and ran off. Apparently the coyote was no match for the dog.
I've noticed more coyotes lately and they're becoming increasingly emboldened. They use to run when you walked toward them. Now they stand their ground and challenge you. We live in L.A. County... I just can't remember it being this bad. They serve an important role in the local ecosystem, but they're becoming a serious nuisance and a threat to public safety.
@@commodoor6549 you should see the baboon problem in cape town. They can open doors
@@commodoor6549
Try not reducing the areas where they live . Then you might find less coyotes in urban areas
@@chateaupig826 You don't understand habituation. Coyotes are in many ways like rats. They are opportunistic and will follow humans into urban areas for easy food, i.e., it's easier to tip over a trash can for food rather than track and hunt rodents. Read more, friend.
This is why my cats are indoor only. Everytime I see a missing cat poster I know was a car or coyote.

When I was young a coyote killed my beloved cat Fat Butt. Since then I’ve been tormented by the way he was found torn in half like this. I always feared his death was terrible and painful. I’m glad to see this was more merciful than I imagined. I always hoped either his throat was squeezed rendering him unconscious and killing him or that he quickly went into shock and didn’t feel everything. This video was an unexpected relief for my heart. Love your forever Fat Butt.
Get yourself a small caliber rifle like a .22 and slow 22 rounds. They are not as loud for the neighbors. Next time you see one., put about 3 rounds in him and drop him. Don't chose to be helpless and victim. Make them the hunted. Pay back for Fatt Butt
I've lost 2 to Coyotes and not because i'm an irresponsible Cat Owner. Both times they got loose.Different locations, different decades. When they get a mind to run, it's on. I opened the door and he shot past me. He rarely went outside. Sucks because both were wonderful Cats
I feed my pet coyote kittens.
@fat-girl-spelunker idk if this is a joke but I hope u do
Someone wants a hug@@fat-girl-spelunker
This is a great example of the battle of the fittest. If people have cats they care about you can’t just allow them to roam around areas where there are other predators.
NO. I know what you are saying if it is a wandering cat but its not of the fittest. These are house cats used to maybe catching a mouse or bird NOT confront large predators. Some A hole dropped these cats off after they grew from cute kittens and having to actually take care of an animal was too much. Sickening when there are no kill shelters and people to take care of them. I have a feral cat and rescue cats like these so no damn static from A holes.
And shoot every 'yote you see.
@@carfvallrightsreservedwith6649
Hey Karen, coyotes DO belong there, NOT domestic HOUSEcats!!! Emphasis on HOUSE cats. If anything, shoot every single housecat running loose you see!! Here in the country, when some city idiot moves in and let's Fluffy or Mittens or any other names they give these holy terrors, loose around here, there are a few people who gut shoot them so they go home and cost their owners a pile of money at the veterinary. These people letting their domestic cats outside, thinking it's so cute that Fluffy brought me a dead baby rabbit are the ones to blame for this crap!!! NOT the natural animals THAT BELONG THERE!!
BTW, is way more than only coyotes eating cats, look around on CZcams and you'll find countless other WILD animals that BELONG there, catching these cats and killing them!!

Now, how many of you cat owners want to argue truth???
Cats shouldnt be allowed to roam free because they are non-native species and kill native species in droves. One country makes it illegal to let you cat go outside for this reason. If my dog ran free I’d catch all kinds of hell from neighbors but its ok for their cat to roam?
@@carfvallrightsreservedwith6649 I do hunt coyotes but in my opinion cats are over populated should also be shot wild ones
Cats are paying the price for being pampered too much
My parents had a mouser cat (natural hunter) who they would allow out. They originally had two cats but one got hit by a car. We always thought it was a mistake to let them roam free. After my parents died we corralled the mouser and now she is strictly an indoor cat. I think she misses the outdoors but TOO EFFING BAD!
Cats kill billions of songbirds every year. This is just a circle of life. Rest in meow.
Uh huh, how would you feel if a man-eater comes in front of you to eat you? Will you still keep your useless mind stuck in circles?
Yes an birds eat many things we like too. Song birds arnt great just becuase they make a pleasant sound lol
@@j5892000The difference is that many of those birds are native of the area, while cats are most definitely an invasive species that kill prey in disproportionately higher numbers compared to other predators in the area.
Also, most of those birds eat insects and fruits/seeds. So not exactly a super predator behavior.
Its sad to watch how cat dais, "rest in meow" this is not funny! ☹️
Cats have slowly wiped out the bird population
The world needs more coyotes!
Nice Film.
this is why you need to keep your cats indoors.If you let them out they will never come home.
A coyotes job is to trick cats into thinking cats are badass. Coyotes will at times jump around cats, run off a bit, etc.
Coyotes also understand when these kitties are somewhat safe, around humans and houses.
Then when found alone, the cat will think the coyote will again be timid around it...quick meal for the coyote. Checkmate.
This is the video I'm going to share with people who think it's OK to keep their cats outside. Bottom line, it's not. They'll either end up as coyote scat or kill indigenous birds or both. Cats belong indoors.
No, cats belong outside it's in their nature to.
@@LarryFleetwood8675it's in their nature, sure. If you let one out, that's also an invasive species..
@@LarryFleetwood8675so you can kill them then. With guns. It is hunting season on cats. Because cats aren't pets if it is in their nature to be outside and destroy nature. Are cats pets that live inside or wild animals that live outside? You can't have double standards

Made me a little sad to think that some of these cats were pets given by the collars. I’m sure their owners would be devastated to know. 😢 However, this was very well documented

The owners don't care about all the wildlife their cats kill. Why care when the wildlife scores a cat for dinner?
@@blackpowder4016 Think about the wildlife that gets free scraps from a cat's hunt. If the owner doesn't get the "gift," other animals like coyotes, skunks, or rabbits will benefit from the free food.
Thanks for the warning. I couldn't watch this. People in my community are always complaining of their cats going missing. Yes, we live in the suburbs and coyotes are a problem. Please don't let your kitties stay outside. It bothers me that so many people consider cats' lives about as useful as a rodent. They are precious lives and companions just as much as dogs.
Coyotes are not a damn problem! They sure as hell where here before us. This idea that nature is a problem makes me laugh! It is our duty are humans with a rationing mind to give our pets protection. This does not include the need to kill all wild life.
You would be surprised how many people will shoot or poison cats that venture onto their property. And then there are those who purposefully swerve their car to hit any critter crossing the street. Depending on the area, I doubt coyote predation is at the top of the list for why kitties go missing. Also, outdoor cats tend to have several "homes" unbeknownst to the owner. Lots of neighborhood people will feed the cat and let it come indoors if it wants to and they may end up just keeping it.
@@PewGoBoomLife You actually edited that lol ? I actually agree. Everything has its place. Keep them Kitties and Small Doggies inside if you care about them.

Coyotes and native wildlife aren't the problem. Cats are. And if you own them, so are you, most likely. Keep them inside.

A few months ago, while walking in a local park, I found the front two-thirds or so of a cat skull, with the face still intact. This in a urbanized area of Lakewood, WA. A coyote hit, almost certainly, I now refer to that trail as "cat-head trail."
If you are getting a cat, keep it in-doors only people. Yes this isn't always easy or possible, but whenever is is, do so. In-door cats live twice as long, contract less parasites, and have less expensive vet bills. Moreover out-door cats contribute to the over hunting of wildlife like birds, reptiles frogs and more. They also can potentially spread diseases to wildlife. If you think only a wolf or mountain lion can kill a house cat, your wrong. Fisher cats and even occasionally raccoons can kill house cats, not to mention hawks, cars, dogs and more.
Keep them indoors to prevent them from breeding and overpopulating your area. Since the 10 feral Cats moved in, all the other wildlife that used to hang around on my property are gone. Nothing but freaken Cats everywhere breeding and singing kareoke under my window at night. About 10 of them need to disappear so the birds, squirrels, ground hog coons and possums come back.

Bird populations are actually healthiest in regions with high cat populations. Cats control non-native rodents that quickly decimate bird populations. Cats are vitally important as an obligate carnivorous mesopredator
@@theotheseaeagle BS - state your reference source! ? ? ... (Crickets)
@@davidvaughn7752 my source is what I have seen out in the field and numerous reliable studies done into the subject of cat predation. I’ve got hundreds of domestic cats in my area and birds are absolutely thriving. We’ve had numerous successful broods and even some threatened species have returned (skylark being one of them). In the northern hemisphere domestic cats fulfil a crucial role as a hypercarnivorous mesopredator. They control the numbers of rats and squirrels and in response bird populations increase. The increase in bird populations as a result of the control and elimination of invasive rodent species in turn feeds species that specialise in songbird predation (sparrowhawks). I’ve also planted hundreds of native rowan and hawthorn which have already fed hundreds of thousands of wintering fieldfares and redwing and hope to grow seeding plants to help threatened seed eaters such as greenfinch. So stop complaining about a subject you know next to nothing about and actually do your own research and help your local wildlife.

i don't think the cat that was killed was white -- if you look at the footage of the coyote travelling in front of one of the trail cameras after it killed the cat, you can see stripes on the end of its tail, which would suggest the cat was ginger/red/orange as solid orange cats naturally have incomplete tabby markings like that without having any genes for tabby patterns.

The cat has very little defence against a coyote.
All a cat's claws can do is scratch and its teeth, puncture.
So it gets by, by warning animals with a short moment of pain but if the animal doesn't care about that then it can't do much else.
And so many cats go out to start a fight instead of minding their own business.
I've numerous times found the remains of cats in our hood, and then a couple days later you see the flyer go up, and you get the fun of having to tell the people you found a leg.

So I began a program. I never miss a cat. .17 HM2, suppressed. I’m well over 150 probably closer to 200, I lost count. At first, I was getting five or six a week, sometimes two in a night now I’m lucky to get one a month. But now I have small animals, including rabbits, squirrels, and also birds, which include ducks, doves, quail, and songbirds. I’ve even noticed muskrats in the river now.

Hello from Oklahoma! Interesting Video. It's pretty obvious to me that was a fairly young coyote by how long it took to kill the cat. An older coyote would've known exactly what to do with its meal. Plus, he/she took a look around to make sure another coyote or animal wasn't going to steal its meal. With successes like this, this young coyote will be something in a year.

This is true. We had a bad feral cat problem in the country side and very low game bird population. A GW told us if we see any cats, not bobs or lynx, shoot them.
Coyote is just doing it’s job. Cats are predators too. The world is not Disney land
Coyotes wipe out the Quail, Turkey and Grouse populations though when they over populate. When I was a boy we had Quail, and Turkeys in abundance, then the Coyote population exploded and the birds went nearly extinct. Then the state offered a $3 bounty on Coyotes and the numbers were culled back enough to allow the birds to recover.
Coyotes eat birds too. Lots of them.
Absolutly not true for I've had 11 freal cats over 45 yr period only one a sylvester female did catch severa bids butshe new I didn't like it the others some super mousers never caught birds...!
In fact I will say feral cats are what keep mouse & rats populations down as well as chipmonks and red sqirrels they do a real job with them esp around homes and farm areas...!
The cat was clearly trying to “Tap Out,” I guess hunger overcomes sportsmanship.
Even the rabbit was like "this hood is real y'all"
The sound the cat made was heartbreaking. Nature can be so cruel. But the coyote is doing what it's natural drive to survive dictates. I was walking to work months ago and a massive pack of coyotes crossed the street just ahead of me. When I got to where they crossed there was a solitary one that looked to me like it was alone. It ended up walking beside me for a while. Almost felt like it needed my company.
Y'all catlovers R so funny. Only forget that nature is cruel when cat is eating meat
@@theProClaimertherefore it is not cruel for humans to systematically eliminate coyotes in North America. One mammal is hunting the other.
Decoy to get you out and follow, then the rest would have been waiting for you, been know to happen...
The skunk was thinking "Wow. Look what has happened to the neighbor hood. Good thing I'm packing."
Domesticated cats and domesticated dogs are like watching spoilt kids to me humans can really mess up nature.
That's someone's cat they let out for awhile. It's very well taken care of. You can tell.
It made a tasty meal.
And now...... its dead..... This Is The Way.
@@jamescole3152Reveling in cruelty. Classy.
Yeah well taken care of.. left outside to get eaten.. nice owner. 🖕🏼
@@MagnesiumEnterprisenot his fault people are so fucking stupid lol
I hope the cats owner was able to watch this trail cam. Should be an indoor cat
Cats are like candy to Bobcats also.
The other reason you need to keep your cats inside is because they indiscriminately kill songbirds.
Coyotes have to eat too.
I wonder if this was a young and inexperienced coyote. It didn't seem to have much crushing power in its jaws. I also wonder why it wasn't shaking the cat. Shaking prey disorients it, helps destroy tissue (In this case, it might have broken the cat's neck.) and is a predator mainstay. I love all animals, so footage of any animal being hurt disturbs me, but the struggle for life and athleticism involved is super interesting. What an active area you found to place the camera! Thank you.
Effectivement, mais au début le chat a l'air très en colère et fort. Il a griffé sévèrement le coyote.
@@deboradesaint-d4611 Souvent, lorsqu'un animal est blessé dans une telle situation, il se bat plus violemment. Certains commentateurs ont estimé que le chat n'était pas aussi féroce que les chats le sont habituellement. Je ne peux pas dire. Mais dans tous les cas, si l'une des égratignures a blessé le coyote, il n'a pas répondu avec un niveau de violence plus élevé. Merci pour votre commentaire réfléchi!
I love how the coyotes are not bothered by a cats savagery. They just kill them regardless ❤
@@VonTeutoburg avec plaisir🙂. La nature est ainsi faite. Je suis entièrement d'accord avec vous.
Shaking the prey usually helps to break the spinal cord.
This is such an important video. Thank you for making it.
this is why cats and pets need to be inside at night.
Rip fluffy
Coyote saved a lot of bird's . And other small species native to area. How is that the coyote is able to avoid cat claws on eyes ? .
I’ll be impossible not to get gouged in the eyes I’m sure they get their eyes gouged cats claws are like razors
Experience.
The cat might have been declawed. That coyote would've had a hella time trying to avoid cat's claws if the cat still had them.
Omg! All of you better not criminal people I am disappointed in you!
The cat is declawed
Tough cat. Wonder if it was thinking " Ha. So this is what it feels like......."
Cat was there hunting the bunny. That little bunny so glad the two predators canceled each other.
Wft! You seem happy cat got hurt! I report you immediately! He can kill your dog and cat also can hurt small children. You better think twice.
@catladynikki2024 House cats kill billions of songbirds every year.
The catlady has spoken Han. You will answer for your crimes
Cat got killed for trying to kill, go coyote go! Go coyote go lol
@@Rodwill18 Cat can’t kill coyote. You are animal abuser. You are cat hater.
Free food for the cayote
I am sure there are some that view this as so cruel. However, cats basically prey on so many other smaller animals in very similar ways without care. Animal do such things to survive and feed their hunger. We are having a problem with the neighbor's cat trying to get to a birdhouse on our front porch at night with baby Blue Birds inside. They trigger the door bell camera. Just animals doing what animals do...
Shoot the fn thing 😡
I hunt coyotes. But I like coyotes much more than cats.
I shoot both on sight.
@@hendo338 based
Those Cats decimate native bird populations.
I have no issue with Coyotes taking out house Cats on the prowl at night.
your misinformed, raccoons and weasels kill more birds than cats.
Birds and anything else they can kill.
Cats decimate more wildlife than all raccoons and weasel combined,you sadly misinformed.
@@jeremywanner4526 lol, use your common sense instead of reading books from bird lovers that portray cats as the boogyman to birds. Predators such as the two I mentioned are more efficient hunters than the cat, they can climb up and down trees at will. Cats can't. Most cats will not prey on squirrels or rats because the prey will fight back. If cats are responsible for millions of wildlife deaths, than the weasel is responsible for billions of wildlife deaths because the weasel is many times more efficient killer than the cat.
I do. You can't compare a beloved kitty with a wild bird.
People are idiots when it comes to nature and their pets.
The coyote is just coyotoing.
Coyotes take care of the feral cat problem !.
The coyotes are the problem
@andrew-es7fn; You are totally wrong by 100% because feral cats kill many bird species which coyotes do not ! just ask any Australian or Hawaiian resident. When I was at Fresno State University in central California the stray cat problem became so bad that they brought in foxes and had Animal Control set up cat traps to take care of the problem !. Another problem is cat lovers feeding stray cats.
Coyote had to bite the nine lives out of that little fellow…
this is why the concept of an outdoor cat is cruel, irresponsible and just plain stupid.
This is a feral cat
@@DerrickDeitz yeah it probably is, but that doesn't negate my point. if a feral cat can't survive out there, how do people expect their pet cat to do any better? this video is just a good example showing the reality of nature, which has no sympathy for domesticated animals
What? I think op has downsyndrome. Animals were meant to be in the wild...
who cares stop crying. coyote did the environment a favor
@@lildannyboi13 why are you getting all huffy? i'm not even addressing you, i'm talking about shit cat owners
keep your cats indoors people...
Cat's are a bit arrogant. That's the only way this coyote got anywhere near it. I'm surprised the coyote isn't all that efficient at dispatching it. I had a cat killing dog and the cat's were dead within seconds of him getting ahold of them.
sleep well cat😢
I think the coyote over powers the feline.
Who cares its just aother useless cat... Mr. Coyote did us a favor well done 😊

This is the first time I’ve seen a trailcamera video with voice narration. It felt calming and I enjoyed it. Brought back childhood storytelling vibes. I randomly came upon this video and Im glad I did. Put me in a better mood today. Haha.
Okami, This is a very unusual video on the game trail I observe. My other 50 videos show animals coming and going nonviolently. You might find them genuinely calming.
