I always think of my neighbors, who had outdoor cats. Had being the operative word, because three of them have had the misfortune of being killed, two of which wound up in my yard after coyotes (or possibly raccoons) had eaten their fill of the bodies, and I had to get their collars and return them. You know what would be great? Me never having to dig through cat cadaver again. That’d be cool. That sounds great.

Yep, that’s nature. Coyotes and raccoons are both a lot more ferocious than people realize. 

My mom once took an indoor/outdoor cat to the vet for deep puncture wounds, wondering what had fought him, and was told by the vet that it was probably another cat rather than the local raccoon. Why? 

“Because, if it was a raccoon, he’d be dead.”
