We have at least three coyotes in the small patch of woods behind our house. They were out howling or whatever that noise is called a lot during Jan. and Feb. so Richard looked it up on the net and found out those are mating months for them. I feel sorry for all the neighbor cats that are outdoors. I've tried warning everyone but they don't listen. Back in the fall a coyote ran across the street in front of our car about a half a mile from our house. If I hadn't seen it I'd never known that was what was making all that noise the past few months. I also read in the newspaper that they are being run out of their territory for development and now small pets are disappearing from their back yards.

Hope your ferals will be okay. So far I've still seen all the cats around but I know one neighbor's little 5 pound dog is missing. No clue what happened to him, hope it wasn't a coyote.
