The coyotes get real close to our fence line & possibly have been over the fence too. They sound like they are right on the other side of our shop when they catch a rabbit or something. Our cats are older & we keep them indoors & our dogs get put to bed at night but they'll still go crazy barking if the coyotes or deer make their presence known to them. When our cats were younger they used to be outside cats & I used to worry about the coyotes getting them. Now one of my older cats will wake us up sometimes at night yowling when she has caught her catnip mouse & wants us to all know about it. We just praise her catch & tell her good job so she will let us go back to sleep. :D
