I just found the remains of a black cat on my front lawn. All that was left was the head, front legs, long intestine and stomach. It's pretty obvious it was coyotes. I'm a big cat fan and I almost gagged while disposing of it. The stomach was open and fresh cat food was visible so it's definitely someone's pet. I sure hope it isn't "Otis" who lives two doors down. He's been hanging around my yard quite a bit lately.
I live on Dolores Drive, halfway between Lake and Mount Curve. The remains were about 15' from my bedroom window and I didn't hear a thing. I've seen numerous coyotes up the street on Mt. Curve and Mt. Lowe Drive/Park. Perhaps they caught it there and brought it to my yard for "consumption" This is bad neighborhood for an outdoor cat ... I took pics of the remains for ID purposes in case a neighbor feels the need to see if it's their cat. I hope not. They're horrifying.
