I believe we lost our second cat in a month last night. Quick yelp followed by a scuffle we heard through the window. Probably a coyote.
I know it is just a cat, but jeez I'm sad and it sucks.
that's not good. The town we've lived in for 35 years is well known as town in which you can't have an outdoor car, too many fishers and coyotes. We warned a new neighbor about this a few summers ago, she said she'd give it a try anyway, and he cat lasted one night. It's tough out there, because we don't like losing our pets...sorry to hear about your loss...
Sorry Mountain. That's tough.
My condolences Mtn.Devil on the passing of your two feline family members.
I've lived in NC for over 20 summers and have never seen a venomous anything...until tonight. I'm thinking I had a baby copperhead try to strike twice as I went for a walk just after dusk. I didn't see it until it was too late, but I was pretty far outside its strike range. It was only 6-8 inches long and was sitting on the curb on the street. I know prime baby snake season runs with prime hurricane season. The snake was left alone for those more concerned with its welfare than mine.
Thoughts? Is it too early to have to worry about this in my neighborhood?
Sending you my condolences. Cookie, the oldest of my three guinea pigs turns 5 this summer, maybe she already is. Guinea pigs live 5-7 years on average. I know we're on the downside of her lifespan and I'm going to take it hard when she goes. Evie will be 5 in the fall. Pumpkin is only 2.
