Pet Owner's Notice: - Monday, March 01, 2010

A few cats in our neighborhood have gone "missing" and the culprit may be coyotes. Coyotes have been spotted in Roefield (which backs up to Colchester) and the Weigel's at Blue Grass. After doing some research, we found out that coyotes occasionally do wander into neighborhoods and go after cats and small dogs and leave nothing behind as evidence. The most common time for them to be "on the prowl" is from dusk 'til dawn. If you are concerned about your pets, the coyote website suggested keeping them in during this time, making sure that cats have a high place to escape to, keeping garbage inside trash bins, keeping birdseed high off the ground, and installing motion detector lights. We felt it necessary to pass along this information in hopes of helping our neighbors keep their pets safe from these intruders.
