For those of you who have followed the thread on Wpn http://www.wildlifepro.net/forum/topics/house-cat-predators or seen it on our Facebook Group https://www.facebook.com/groups/thewildlifepronetwork/

What ate my pussy? or words to that effect on the WpN Discussion Forum. Bruce Roady shared some pics and trying to figure our what has eaten over 30 or so feral cats.

Went to do an inspection on a small farm that has something killing house/barn cats. On first info I thought it was a coyote. there are several in the area. However, Upon seeing pics of half eaten cats, I have my doubts it is a yote. All or almost all bones are left intact. only the Intrails are eaten, and only about half of the carcasses have been carried off.

Now is the real kicker for me. The next farm has lost 12-13 cats in the same manner. The next farm 17 cats in the same manner. Total cats so far, 30-35 cats. In the past month!!!

I am not gonna put these pics on FB so if you want to see them go to WPN!

Coyotes are the most common and most serious predator of livestock in the United States. They prey on big game, livestock, rodents, wild birds, and poultry. This breed of canine, has no natural predator other than themselves. Coyotes normally kill livestock with a bite in the throat, but they infrequently pull the animal down by attacking the side, hindquarters, and udder. The rumen and intestines may be removed and dragged away from the carcass. On small lambs, the upper canine teeth may penetrate the top of the neck or the skull. Calf predation by coyotes is most common when calves are young. Calves that are attacked, but not killed, exhibit wounds in the flank, hindquarters, or front shoulders; often their tails are chewed off near the top. Deer carcasses are frequently completely dismembered and eaten. Drip irrigation system users report that coyotes chew holes in plastic pipe and disrupt irrigation. Coyotes damage watermelons by biting holes through the melons and eating the centers out; raccoons, on the other hand, make small holes in the melons and scoop the pulp out with their front paws. Coyotes will also damage other fruit crops.

So in a nutshell we are talking predators tonight. Join Us!
