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.
@@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
Yeah, you can tell a feral cat from a house cat. These are definitely dropped off house cats. If you ever saw a feral cat fight it is NOT like this. They claw and bite the snout and eyes HARD! These cats are docile until its too late not knowing how to fight. The people who drop them off has something wrong with them. We have no kill shelters and such when you tire of actually taking care of something. These people make me sick.
@@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.
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.
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.
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!
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 UA-cam and you'll find countless other WILD animals that BELONG there, catching these cats and killing them!! Just on UA-cam I've found many videos of cats being killed by too many animals to list!! Just go to search on UA-cam 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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
Sorry for your pet and your loss. Even 'tho distanced in place and time . These are tragedies that caring decent people wish never happened. Now-days, the general public attitude could work toward helping prevent and reduce such happenings, by removal of predators from Human living areas.
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.
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.
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.
I feel like this is the only way to convince people not to let their cats out, they dont give a shit about the hundreds of animal's they kill out of boredom thanks to the excess food they get from us, only when it personally affects them will they *maybe* listen
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.
@@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.
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.
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 .
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.
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."
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
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
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.
Cat lovers crying about watching a cat die need to remember that bird lovers or mice lovers could feel the same. Circle of life in nature is brutal but a must to feed one another.
Most likely the cat had been de-clawed, this explains the reason the coyote's face isn't messed up: a cat that size is more than capable of scratching out the coyote's eyes balls and shouldn't be an easy kill for a coyote.
You underestimate coyotes. They are very smart predators who will shift their hunting techniques to suit what prey they are hunting. Claws or no claws, this cat lost once the coyote had ahold of its throat
Completely untrue about the cat messing up the coyotes face. Years ago a boxer I had grabbed a full grown stray cat that wondered into our yard. By the time I got out back to see why he was (seriously) growling, he had the cat in his mouth while the cat had both claws on the side of his face. I thought he was going to be scratched up pretty good, but instead after I made him drop the cat and inspected him he didn't even have blood on him. Barely any marks with a cat fighting for its life. The whole premise of a cat beating up a dog is based on timid dogs who just thought it was play time, or the ones that realized they couldn't just bully a cat. A dog that's hungry or protecting it's territory has no problems dispatching cats. That's the reality of it, unfortunately for many cats all over.
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.
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. 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!
Aye. And that's why they deer population has explodes...causing accidents on our highways and public streets. But why did we kill the wolves? Not because anything they did in North America...but because of European fear and hate of a predator that had competed successfully against them since the days they first invaded Europe. The more aggressive European wolf 🐺 could not be exterminated ( like Neanderthal was) so the Europeans took out their aggression on the milder North American species.
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.
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.
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.
Great video. Cats make great prey and food for coyotes which are beneficial to the ecosystem while cats damage the ecosystem. Definitely appreciate coyotes and the work they do.
@@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
You're just looking for some excuse to discredit the video because you are one of those people who refuse to accept cats aren't the mythical invincible animals you have convinced yourself they are.
@@Binxx00 Easily searchable. BILLIONS. Literally the first result. "America’s cats, including housecats that adventure outdoors and feral cats, kill between 1.3 billion and 4.0 billion birds in a year, says Peter Marra of the Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute in Washington, D.C., who led the team that performed the analysis." Let me guess, it is some anti-cat conspiracy, right? 🤣
Does anyone know how much an adult cat will feed a coyote? I know in the video it took 2 days to fully eat the whole thing, but just wondering if it's basically a full meal for 2 days or more/less.
It’s most likely a dumped domestic cat , cats are invasive species killing alot of birds and other small animals just for fun , even they enjoy torturing them , but if got one i will protect it or dump it to a shelter , but never into a street or forest , these animals are responsibility and got feelings to you as his savior, but some people are so cruel
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.
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.
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...
My friend had a cat for years and it preferred to spend time outside. Like many cats, it would go on adventures where it would disappear during the day to come in at night. One day he just never returned. It was an old cat. I wonder if he died of natural causes or if a coyote got him.
My friend had a dog for years and it preferred to get into the neighbor's trash. He still has it because one day someone hit the dog with a board and the owner finally understood what we all should know as mature, responsible pet owners. I wonder what moron thinks it's ok to let their cat out to roam unsupervised??
@@bobspeltbackwards2195 much to the annoyance of wildlife lovers in the UK, the default is to let your cat out at night. There are foxes in some urban areas, but cats are rarely their prey and cats are free to kill whatever they like.
I lived in Eastern New Mexico years ago (Canon AFB) and at the time around the main entrance bridge there was several feral/stray/wandering cats. There was also packs of coyotes in that area as well. I would walk home late at night (between midnight and 2am) and on three separate occasions I saw coyotes carrying off cats in their jaws. *2 kittens and 1 huge cat almost as big as the coyote. Circle of life. Also, if anyone let's their pet cat roam outside and coyote country, that is just incredibly irresponsible.
I love how people assume that the only cats are people's pets, when cats have been roaming feral in North America since before the first pilgrims arrived here. They were likely brought over on Scottish or Viking ships. Do coyotes kill cats? Yes, but Coyotes kill anything smaller than they are (and this one obviously has the cat by the throat, there is no getting away from that) Nature is nature, wrong place, wrong time. The point is, that doesn't HAVE to be someone's pet.
I've never understood people that keep small pets outdoors in coyote country.... There's been a lot of Cats in my neighborhood over the years. I like to go on late night walks and I've seen dozens of them around various streets and culdesacs. But theres always a missing Cat poster that eventually gets put up somewhere. Or a Cat that I haven't seen in awhile and I take notice of it because they were really friendly and would let me pet them. And it sucks because I just know that a Coyote got them... It makes me really annoyed with the owners. They always have a stupid excuse for why they didn't want to keep their Cats in doors. And then they act all surprised & shocked when their pets are gone or only a few pieces of them remain. Some pet owners are just insanely idiotic.
It IS sad. And did you notice you called it coyote country. Maybe we should call it people (and pets') country and do more to move coyotes out of it. Because humans have a right to safe living areas. Some people would be surprised at how much "peopleless" true wilderness still exists for wild hunter animals.
I heard that bird populations have been decimated by domesticated and wild cat populations. With the coyote population increasing, maybe it'll help keep in check the cat population and help restore the bird population. (Of course, some bird populations are decimated by the lack of bugs due to pesticides. )
That "bird populations have been decimated by domesticated cats..." is bs. Sure, in regions having no native cats species birds didn't evolve anti cat predation defense, but in the Americas, in Europe, Asia...most of the world actually, birds and cats have co-evolved for thousands and thousands of years...Feral cats are a problem mostly in Austalia, Tasmania and NZ where there's no native cat species, and almost no predators to regulate cats population... Bird pops have crashed since the 70's because of the concomitant crash of insect populations probably caused by large scale use of those new pesticides...Most birds and 100% of passerine birds only rely on insects to feed their young, son less insect=less reproductivity...
A correlation between the presence of coyotes and an increase in the populations of songbirds (and several other species cats are known to wipe out) has been acknowledged by several studies. So that's at least one benefit of the coyote population exploding.
@@chitinskin9860you people have to have some kind of low intelligence, an increase in coyotes screams disaster Here in Illinois they don’t “avoid people” they will attack and you clowns want an increase because of house cats?

@@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.
If only that were possible everywhere . There are a million feral cats in Australia and there aint NOTHING killing them . No predation of cats and they are almost impossible to catch . Having a big impact on native wildlife .
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.
Owners who let their cats outdoors are irresponsible. If this cat is a pet it doesn't deserve a death like this. Coyotes should hunt rabbits and not pets.
Like a Coyote would even give a shit. Also they don't have the intelligence of knowing what a pet is, lmao. When they're hungry all that matters to them is finding an animal they can kill and feast upon. In many multiple cases an outdoor cat
@@TheKontraktor007 Which is exactly why you should keep your cat indoors if it is a pet. If you own a pet and let it outdoors without supervision, of course there is a risk of its becoming prey if there are predators there. Irresponsible is the only way of describing owners like that.
@@columbus730 I agree, I actually have two indoor cats. Cuz we both know there's many predators out in the wilderness that would easily kill or devour a cat. It's to bad that there's too many irresponsible people who own cats out there, that let them be outside
@@chateaupig826 I've nothing against the coyote. Predators are part of the ecosystem and play a role. The cat, if it was a family pet, should not have been out there. The owners were stupid, almost to the point of abuse. Think of how many rabbits there would be if there were no predators. Family pets should not be on the menu.
Well there you go folks there's your happy outdoor cat. All the people that are too lazy to clean a cat box maybe shouldn't have a cat in the first place.
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.
There are two cameras facing each other about 30 feet apart around a bend in the game trail. The coyote triggered the other camera as it left the area. I did not include that clip in the video.
I have 4 rescue cats that are strictly indoor . They have climbing towers, litter boxes of course which they do use. They get the best natural dry food, no artificial flavors or colors, and the the natural Eldorado water in the gallon containers. They all use their scratchpads which i put catnip on. They are a big part of my family.
Our dogo argentino killed a coyote in our yard. The dog was unscathed. Haven't seen a coyote since. The coyote is just trying to survive. Sadly, it messed with the wrong dog.
In Australia one of the biggest dangers to local wildlife are cats which are responsible for the extinction of several species of native animals. Unfortunately there are no such animals as coyotes to keep their numbers down.
@@skiprotsteinonly in some parts of Australia, where they are protected. Before dingoes it was the thylacine. When Americans wiped put grey wolves in most states, coyotes filled the niche. In Australia, its the dingoes filling in for the thylacine (“Tasmanian Tiger”). It’s of the utmost importance to protect dingoes otherwise there will be no apex predator in Australia. And then rodents and felines life will kill off many native species.
@@Jet_Threat You have repeatedly stated proven facts and yet there are still cat owners who would argue with about it. You just can't teach truth to a moron. Australia seems to have had many different overpopulation issues with different animals. I've seen mouse, rabbit and even cat overpopulation extremes. You have, again, started facts about cause and effect of killing off a perceived threat to human interests and their dealing with it by killing off the threat, only to create an even worse problem. It's people like them who have caused the extinction or near extinction of too many animals to list, but it would include just these few and many more: Whales, wolves, thylacine, tigers, and the list goes on and on. Thank you for trying to show truth to certain smarter people who are generally cat owners. And we all know how smart they are!!
@princejohn Was für ein Unsinn! Es sind nicht die Katzen, die lediglich Mäuse fangen, sondern es sind die Coyoten, die eine Gefahr für die Wildtiere in Australien sind! Aber es gibt eben diese ganz besondere Art von Menschen, die als Katzen-Hasser bekannt sind, die solchen Nonsence erzählen! Die Katzen halten die Population von Mäusen und Ratten klein!
@@bobspeltbackwards2195 Thanks for appreciating my efforts to get the facts out; hope it reaches somebody who’s open to learning. However, I don’t get why you have to be mean to cat owners and generalize them like that. Some of the smartest people of all time owned cats, and many cat owners understand and appreciate wildlife, and plenty of them agree with us about the facts. Now I’m a dog person, but just because you don’t like cats doesn’t mean that anyone who owns a cat is stupid. That’s some ridiculous logic. The problem isn’t cat owners, it’s people who are ignorant and hateful towards wildlife and think that humans have a right to wipe out whatever species they don’t like, ya know?
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.
There are too many pets animal out there and coyotes are hungry. It doesn’t bother me few cats ended up on coyotes menu. This way coyotes are keeping feral cats population in check.
Rabbit: Glad it ain't me.
Lmao so true the rabbit got lucky that day.
roadrunner : and me..of course 😂
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.

These cats are docile until its too late not knowing how to fight. The people who drop them off has something wrong with them. We have no kill shelters and such when you tire of actually taking care of something. These people make me sick.

@@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.
@@jaromor8808But you are deluded.
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.
People are idiots!
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 Would you let your kids run around in bad neighbourhood? Ask yourself if there is a difference in treatment between kids and pets.
@@weirdshit spare me your self righteous judgment. I have my own relationship with my cats, I love them very much, and they have a good life.
@@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.
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.
A feral cat is tough cookie.
There are alot of cats that can defend themselves against a coyote. This one wasn't capable.

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.

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.

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 UA-cam and you'll find countless other WILD animals that BELONG there, catching these cats and killing them!!
Just on UA-cam I've found many videos of cats being killed by too many animals to list!! Just go to search on UA-cam 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?
@@carfvallrightsreservedwith6649 I do hunt coyotes but in my opinion cats are over populated should also be shot wild ones
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
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.
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.

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

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 😂
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.
And people that can't stand their smell . Sickning
This is why my cats are indoor only. Everytime I see a missing cat poster I know was a car or coyote.

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.

@@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.

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.

Cat lovers crying about watching a cat die need to remember that bird lovers or mice lovers could feel the same. Circle of life in nature is brutal but a must to feed one another.
Most likely the cat had been de-clawed, this explains the reason the coyote's face isn't messed up: a cat that size is more than capable of scratching out the coyote's eyes balls and shouldn't be an easy kill for a coyote.
Could also be old. They get decrepit a lot faster than we do, even foxes will take an old cat.
A cat has zero chance of fighting back against a coyote. They are not like house dogs that try to figure out what to do with the cat.
You underestimate coyotes. They are very smart predators who will shift their hunting techniques to suit what prey they are hunting. Claws or no claws, this cat lost once the coyote had ahold of its throat
Completely untrue about the cat messing up the coyotes face. Years ago a boxer I had grabbed a full grown stray cat that wondered into our yard. By the time I got out back to see why he was (seriously) growling, he had the cat in his mouth while the cat had both claws on the side of his face. I thought he was going to be scratched up pretty good, but instead after I made him drop the cat and inspected him he didn't even have blood on him. Barely any marks with a cat fighting for its life. The whole premise of a cat beating up a dog is based on timid dogs who just thought it was play time, or the ones that realized they couldn't just bully a cat. A dog that's hungry or protecting it's territory has no problems dispatching cats. That's the reality of it, unfortunately for many cats all over.
@@Jstandshere 10)5 agree.Lots youtube videos of coyotes killing cats. Very easy search.
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.
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.
You can tell that it's a coyote: all of its stuff is marked "Acme".
Coyotes are thriving nationwide. They have adapted to hunting in cities too at night.
Right. Just as the case of rats, man has inadvertently created the perfect habitat for them.
They are getting fucked by farmers justifiably.
Yep the wolves were removed from so much of America and that's why the Coyote numbers have got so high
Because we killed all the wolves. 🤷
Aye. And that's why they deer population has explodes...causing accidents on our highways and public streets.
But why did we kill the wolves?
Not because anything they did in North America...but because of European fear and hate of a predator that had competed successfully against them since the days they first invaded Europe.
The more aggressive European wolf 🐺 could not be exterminated ( like Neanderthal was) so the Europeans took out their aggression on the milder North American species.
Keep your kitties inside!
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
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 ❤
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.
The world needs more coyotes!
The tale of a coyote, a black cat, a white cat, a skunk, a rabbit and a raccoon. This is a great video. R.I.P. white cat.
😂сколько животных попало на камеру, а он весь фильм ходит с котом в зубах!
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.
I hope the cats owner was able to watch this trail cam. Should be an indoor cat
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.
Great video. Cats make great prey and food for coyotes which are beneficial to the ecosystem while cats damage the ecosystem. Definitely appreciate coyotes and the work they do.
This is the coyote that ate the cat that killed the rat that ate the malt...
That lived in the house that Jack built?
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
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...

You're just looking for some excuse to discredit the video because you are one of those people who refuse to accept cats aren't the mythical invincible animals you have convinced yourself they are.
@@someguy5035no. I asked a genuine question. Stop looking for a hidden meaning.

@@Binxx00 Easily searchable. BILLIONS. Literally the first result.
"America’s cats, including housecats that adventure outdoors and feral cats, kill between 1.3 billion and 4.0 billion birds in a year, says Peter Marra of the Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute in Washington, D.C., who led the team that performed the analysis."
Let me guess, it is some anti-cat conspiracy, right? 🤣
Well, feral cats do kill millions of native small animals. It’s time to keep their population in check. The coyote did it’s job.
I think the same on humans with everyone popin babies left and right and us being overpopulated in the world 😂
Oui , c'est la vérité
If you skip to 0:54 you can see a collar on the cat. It wasn’t feral. Dumb azz
Person I can’t believe you just said that about somebody losing their cat to a coyote rude
As a cat owner(indoor) I gotta admit, it’s sad but true..
Does anyone know how much an adult cat will feed a coyote? I know in the video it took 2 days to fully eat the whole thing, but just wondering if it's basically a full meal for 2 days or more/less.
Depends on how many pups they have also.
It’s most likely a dumped domestic cat , cats are invasive species killing alot of birds and other small animals just for fun , even they enjoy torturing them , but if got one i will protect it or dump it to a shelter , but never into a street or forest , these animals are responsibility and got feelings to you as his savior, but some people are so cruel
Thanks for the video. This was great 😃👍
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.
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.
Better yet.. get rid of the predators !!
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 😡
Coyote catches a cat sure, but coyote catches a forty five toom
ironically, the munitions that the coyotes around my house catch are called "wildcat 30-06"
My friend had a cat for years and it preferred to spend time outside. Like many cats, it would go on adventures where it would disappear during the day to come in at night. One day he just never returned. It was an old cat. I wonder if he died of natural causes or if a coyote got him.
My friend had a dog for years and it preferred to get into the neighbor's trash. He still has it because one day someone hit the dog with a board and the owner finally understood what we all should know as mature, responsible pet owners.
I wonder what moron thinks it's ok to let their cat out to roam unsupervised??
@@bobspeltbackwards2195 much to the annoyance of wildlife lovers in the UK, the default is to let your cat out at night. There are foxes in some urban areas, but cats are rarely their prey and cats are free to kill whatever they like.
rotten coyotes
Old cats will get caught. For sure. Coyote can easily tell apart a slow and fast cat.
That coyote might have ur cat
That Coyote was just eliminating an invasive species.
It is also probably invasive.
@@bowenhibberd1245Coyotes are native animals say what you will
@@luckypunch6269 depends on the place.

If a coyote attacks a person it's hypocrites like you that suddenly have a problem with coyotes 🙄
Rabbit: I am buying a lottery ticket.
I lived in Eastern New Mexico years ago (Canon AFB) and at the time around the main entrance bridge there was several feral/stray/wandering cats.
There was also packs of coyotes in that area as well.
I would walk home late at night (between midnight and 2am) and on three separate occasions I saw coyotes carrying off cats in their jaws. *2 kittens and 1 huge cat almost as big as the coyote.
Circle of life.
Also, if anyone let's their pet cat roam outside and coyote country, that is just incredibly irresponsible.
Coyote, "Damn, this muffugga ain't dead yet? Shit, dis too much work. Gonna stick to squirrels and chipmunks!" 😂

I love how people assume that the only cats are people's pets, when cats have been roaming feral in North America since before the first pilgrims arrived here. They were likely brought over on Scottish or Viking ships.
Do coyotes kill cats? Yes, but Coyotes kill anything smaller than they are (and this one obviously has the cat by the throat, there is no getting away from that)
Nature is nature, wrong place, wrong time. The point is, that doesn't HAVE to be someone's pet.
This is why you don’t leave your pets out at night.
I've never understood people that keep small pets outdoors in coyote country....
There's been a lot of Cats in my neighborhood over the years. I like to go on late night walks and I've seen dozens of them around various streets and culdesacs. But theres always a missing Cat poster that eventually gets put up somewhere. Or a Cat that I haven't seen in awhile and I take notice of it because they were really friendly and would let me pet them. And it sucks because I just know that a Coyote got them...
It makes me really annoyed with the owners. They always have a stupid excuse for why they didn't want to keep their Cats in doors. And then they act all surprised & shocked when their pets are gone or only a few pieces of them remain. Some pet owners are just insanely idiotic.
It IS sad. And did you notice you called it coyote country. Maybe we should call it people (and pets') country and do more to move coyotes out of it. Because humans have a right to safe living areas. Some people would be surprised at how much "peopleless" true wilderness still exists for wild hunter animals.
@@ELISABETHPARKER-f2s are you an AI bot?... your username is weird and I feel like you said what you said only to argue...
I heard that bird populations have been decimated by domesticated and wild cat populations. With the coyote population increasing, maybe it'll help keep in check the cat population and help restore the bird population. (Of course, some bird populations are decimated by the lack of bugs due to pesticides. )
That "bird populations have been decimated by domesticated cats..." is bs. Sure, in regions having no native cats species birds didn't evolve anti cat predation defense, but in the Americas, in Europe, Asia...most of the world actually, birds and cats have co-evolved for thousands and thousands of years...Feral cats are a problem mostly in Austalia, Tasmania and NZ where there's no native cat species, and almost no predators to regulate cats population...
Bird pops have crashed since the 70's because of the concomitant crash of insect populations probably caused by large scale use of those new pesticides...Most birds and 100% of passerine birds only rely on insects to feed their young, son less insect=less reproductivity...
A correlation between the presence of coyotes and an increase in the populations of songbirds (and several other species cats are known to wipe out) has been acknowledged by several studies. So that's at least one benefit of the coyote population exploding.
@@chitinskin9860you people have to have some kind of low intelligence, an increase in coyotes screams disaster Here in Illinois they don’t “avoid people” they will attack and you clowns want an increase because of house cats?
Birds can always fly away
Bullshit this is a pretexte used to decimate cats. The birds are mostly decimated by predator birds.
Coyote: “Let me grad a bite for me and my old lady”
Wolves: “And we took that personally”
The rabbit smeling the floor like “this smells like the scary cat that scratched me the other day”
That rabbit said not today
The stupid owner(s)of the cat(s) put their pet(s)in danger
don't let your cats outside
Pennsylvania Department of Fish and Game came up with the brilliant idea of restocking yotes to cut down on the deer impacts on the highways. All the major insurance carriers were threatening to leave. Huge mistake. I see more dead fawns and turkey feathers on the game lands than ever.

Those Cats decimate native bird populations.
I have no issue with Coyotes taking out house Cats on the prowl at night.

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.
Cats and small dogs need a collar with spikes to stop coyotes from effectively going after the neck a weak spot.
Cats and small dogs need a house to stay in, effectively stops coyotes going after the neck a weak spot.
We lost one of our beloved cats this way 😢 we don’t let them out anymore.
So, cat lovers can learn a lesson after all
If only that were possible everywhere .
There are a million feral cats in Australia and there aint NOTHING killing them .
No predation of cats and they are almost impossible to catch .
Having a big impact on native wildlife .
I thought you had wild dogs over there?
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.
raccoons, skunks, opossums,badgers,weasels,martens,can smell death and look for carrion .
Owners who let their cats outdoors are irresponsible. If this cat is a pet it doesn't deserve a death like this. Coyotes should hunt rabbits and not pets.
Like a Coyote would even give a shit. Also they don't have the intelligence of knowing what a pet is, lmao. When they're hungry all that matters to them is finding an animal they can kill and feast upon. In many multiple cases an outdoor cat
@@TheKontraktor007 Which is exactly why you should keep your cat indoors if it is a pet. If you own a pet and let it outdoors without supervision, of course there is a risk of its becoming prey if there are predators there. Irresponsible is the only way of describing owners like that.
@@columbus730 I agree, I actually have two indoor cats. Cuz we both know there's many predators out in the wilderness that would easily kill or devour a cat. It's to bad that there's too many irresponsible people who own cats out there, that let them be outside
Bravo coyote 😂
@@chateaupig826 I've nothing against the coyote. Predators are part of the ecosystem and play a role. The cat, if it was a family pet, should not have been out there. The owners were stupid, almost to the point of abuse. Think of how many rabbits there would be if there were no predators. Family pets should not be on the menu.
Well there you go folks there's your happy outdoor cat. All the people that are too lazy to clean a cat box maybe shouldn't have a cat in the first place.
Or simply should not declaw them, that coyote would have been torn to shreds if that cat would have had its claws.
this is why i make sure that my cat stays in my yard and gets back inside before it turns dark
The poor fkg cat was out looking for dinner but wound up being the coyote's dinner instead.
People are idiots when it comes to nature and their pets.
The coyote is just coyotoing.
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.
At least the cat nourished a hungry coyote !!.
What was that bright white light just before 11:40?
There are two cameras facing each other about 30 feet apart around a bend in the game trail. The coyote triggered the other camera as it left the area. I did not include that clip in the video.
I have 4 rescue cats that are strictly indoor . They have climbing towers, litter boxes of course which they do use. They get the best natural dry food, no artificial flavors or colors, and the the natural Eldorado water in the gallon containers. They all use their scratchpads which i put catnip on. They are a big part of my family.

Hey were was this located? Im asking for a friend.
In Australia one of the biggest dangers to local wildlife are cats which are responsible for the extinction of several species of native animals. Unfortunately there are no such animals as coyotes to keep their numbers down.
Is there still a significant population of dingoes
@@skiprotsteinonly in some parts of Australia, where they are protected. Before dingoes it was the thylacine. When Americans wiped put grey wolves in most states, coyotes filled the niche. In Australia, its the dingoes filling in for the thylacine (“Tasmanian Tiger”). It’s of the utmost importance to protect dingoes otherwise there will be no apex predator in Australia. And then rodents and felines life will kill off many native species.
@@Jet_Threat
You have repeatedly stated proven facts and yet there are still cat owners who would argue with about it. You just can't teach truth to a moron. Australia seems to have had many different overpopulation issues with different animals. I've seen mouse, rabbit and even cat overpopulation extremes. You have, again, started facts about cause and effect of killing off a perceived threat to human interests and their dealing with it by killing off the threat, only to create an even worse problem. It's people like them who have caused the extinction or near extinction of too many animals to list, but it would include just these few and many more:
Whales, wolves, thylacine, tigers, and the list goes on and on.
Thank you for trying to show truth to certain smarter people who are generally cat owners. And we all know how smart they are!!

Now I’m a dog person, but just because you don’t like cats doesn’t mean that anyone who owns a cat is stupid. That’s some ridiculous logic. The problem isn’t cat owners, it’s people who are ignorant and hateful towards wildlife and think that humans have a right to wipe out whatever species they don’t like, ya know?
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
@@Jurgir09therefore it is not cruel for humans to systematically eliminate coyotes in North America. One mammal is hunting the other.

There are too many pets animal out there and coyotes are hungry. It doesn’t bother me few cats ended up on coyotes menu. This way coyotes are keeping feral cats population in check.
We as humans should keep coyotes in check. Meaning extinction. They add nothing to rural life except for property damage
