… Are you asking if a coyote can eat a cat?

Do you understand they hunt deer? Theyre not really worried about a cat with clawless arthritis, horn and hoof wounds are much bigger threats.

Predators dont know better than to not fuck with cats, most of them know to grab them before they get up a tree.

No. I don’t know coyotes. They hunt deer? In packs? Or are they large enough to do it solo?

I thought these things were like mangy dogs the size of, well, a mangy dog.

My point is, they wouldn’t know the cat is clawless. I’d think most animals would give cats a wide berth, but then again dogs do chase them… Until they catch one and find themselves regretting it.

They wouldnt care the cat isnt obviously clawless, they would just thank their lucky stars when the cat cant climb a tree. Coyotes dont like clawed cats because they can get up the tree, not because the claws deter them.

A coyote is like a mangy dog in the same way a colt 45 is like a slingshot, in that they could both throw lead. Theyre smaller than wolves, but thats like saying “oh elk arent big, theyre smaller than moose,” or “my truck isnt big, its smaller than a tank,” or “oh my floodlights arent bright, theyre dimmer than the sun.”

Most predators dont give cats a wide berth unless they arent hungry. But if the belly needs filling? Yum yum

But mangy dogs can’t throw lead!

I thought coyotes would more be BB guns.

Also, do NOT underestimate the power of a slingshot and lead bullets.

I suppose like I should not underestimate the power of a coyote.

Although I am pretty sure that 1 on 1 I would take down a coyote in hand to hand combat. I think I could manage up to a kangaroo.
