I immediately thought of you, Shallowsnole and it broke my heart.

Last week, I was surprised to see a coyote (it seemed reddish, and had a thick tail but was much larger than a fox) one block off 395 on Forest Street in Old Seagrove -- 2 blocks from the Seagrove Village Market.
I lost one of my sweet cats over Memorial Day this year, but I did not believe that coyotes were in my neighborhood. I guess they are everywhere.

The scrawny coyotes around here are not likely filling those little bellies on cats.
An 80 lb Red Wolf in South Walton would certainly be a huge sighting. I doubt they would get that big around South Walton, unless they are eating left overs from JamBone's. We have plenty of scrawny Coyotes and a few Red Fox, but I doubt that anyone would mistake them to be 80 lbs.
We need pics, people!
On a side note, don't declaw your kitties if they are outside cats. They need to be able to climb trees to escape predators.

I beg to differ. I have lost cats to coyotes and so have my neighbors. And much to my horror, I was awakened one night by one of those "scrawny" coyotes making a meal out of a raccoon in my back yard. Don't be fooled by their appearance - coyotes are vicious and efficient predators.

Sorry that people have lost their pets.
Racoons are not the fastest moving animals. Do you have proof of Coyotes eating cats around here? Seeing a raccoon being eaten by a coyote doesn't meant that Coyotes are eating cats.

I frequently see coyotes on 30-A - usually around Seagrove or by Draper.
Sorry they are eating your pets, I wish they could just restrict themselves to controlling the nasty feral cat population.

Coyotes were howling like crazy just a moment ago in Old Pt Washington. Sounded like they were in the cemetary or close to it. DMarie, did you hear it???

Gosh they were quite loud that night in particular. I was sitting on my porch and heard them from out here, a mile or so up the road from the cemetary. Must've been really loud for everyone down there.

Two coyotes have attacked and killed a 19-year-old folk singer in a national park in eastern Canada, officials say.
