We keep Chelsea Bun, our cat, on a long  leash to avoid  a  NASTY SHORTENED LIFE!<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
Amazing that wild creatures survive and thrive among the hundred of thousands<\/div>\n
human beings in th GTA.    But they do  as some of us find out the hard way,<\/div>\n
A better heading for this episode might be \u201cNature red in tooth and claw\u201d as a neighbour of Andrew discovered.<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
\u201cAndrew will you help me find our cat?\u201d<\/div>\n
\u201cYou are standing on its’ tail.\u201d<\/div>\n
\u201cBeg your pardon?\u201d<\/div>\n
\u201c\u201dYou are standing on your cats inedible tail tail\u2026coyotes got your cat  last night. Sorry]to say that.\u201d<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
A pair of coyotes had been out hunting.  Perhaps needed food<\/div>\n
for milk for pups just born… food for momma coyote.  Or for <\/div>\n
themselves. Andrew had spotted the coyotes and made sure Norman their <\/div>\n
fat shortl legged pug nosed dog .  Andrew was also woried<\/div>\n
that a bald eagle, recent ly arrived ub the ske=y above Port Credit, might tear a strip off of Norman. Nice fat little dog,<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
The cat was not so lucky.  How did Andrew know the killers were coyotes? Night<\/div>\n
time howling.,,<\/div>\n
Barely visible movements of \u2018greyness in the semi darkness of dawn and dusk.<\/div>\n
Best evdence was the cat tail and paws snipped of with finesse and some long<\/div>\n
length of the cat\u2019s fur.  Dead cats keep tails attached if death is natural or a car accident<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
There was a time when I was young that the night time prowlers were Tom cats and raccoons both of which are now in short supply due to coyote oredation.<\/div>\n
