So sorry about your kitty.
In our neighborhood here in So Cal. People do not let their cats out due to the coyotes. They will be gone in a day. We even watch our dog all though we are in a newer subdivision all fenced. They jump the fence no problem. We have the Padres national forest behind us and Angeles Natl Forest behind and across from us. We are on the I-5 right between the two.
We still like being where there is some wildlife LA is so congested.

I'm so sorry to hear about your cat being lost. Our cat of 17 years went outside to potty-he was an inside cat and only out on a leash usually,but he got so bad with arthritis he refused to use his litter box even though i brought it upstairs and put it by our bedroom door, he wanted outside to potty. my husband let him out at 2 a.m. to potty and something got him quickly and quietly. broke his back, we took him to the vet for one last time.
we now have three cats. a momma cat and her two kittens who came to live in our backyard. we let them into our garage at night and needless to say, into our house later on. one kitten is still slightly feral. he. excuse me, she (i thought it was boy till taken to the Vet) refused to come into the house till long after the mom and sister were acclimated. i'm just now getting to where i can pick her up a bit off the floor to kiss and pet her. she's very skittish but wants love a lot.
coyotes are losing their regular hunting places, so all pets must be kept indoors. not an easy thing to do at times i know.
your cat had a good life and lots of love i'm sure. remember the good times hon.
