Dear Editor:<\/p>\n
Cat owners beware!<\/p>\n
During my early evening dog walks I noticed cats sitting near houses and I feel sorry for them because a few hours later in the dark, I could see dogs (make that coyotes) prowling through the neighbourhood.<\/p>\n
A few of my friends lost their beloved kitties – put those two facts together and there is your answer. Cats make the perfect “snack” for a hungry
\ncoyote. So if you love your cat, keep her\/him inside.<\/p>\n
Give a spayed or neutered cat a place near a window to watch the world go by and you will have their devotion and love for as long as he\/she lives.
\nBy the way, cats are (as cute and lovable as they are) a menace to the dwindling songbird population. In my house, kitty is an antidote to feeling lonely or forgotten (especially now with COVID-19). A snuggle with her and the soft purring makes everything tolerable better than any anti-depression medication. It’s proven by experts who know it.<\/p>\n
