I am writing hoping that you will advise folks of recent coyote sitings in the area and the need for folks to keep a close eye on their cats. I live on Garden Lane and according to my neighbors, coyotes have been sited in the open lot on Garden, on Vidal, and on Lamont. This is especially important because a neighbor’s cat was viciously killed on Vidal- leaving the cat in 5 pieces- and the likely perpetrator was a coyote.

We see a lot of cats on Garden out and about given the nice weather and it is SO important to emphasize to Decatur Metro readers that they need to keep their cats inside. I am worried for the sweet cats that are constant visitors to my house and garden! Folks need to keep them inside, given these sitings.
