When living in central Calif. I lost too many furkids to coyote raids- as I lived in a rural area. If cats are taught to keep inside at night at an early age, chances are they will continue this habit. I have a few that will not attempt to go outside, even if I open a door for a few seconds, and then again I have to put some of them in the house behind 2 sets of doors so they will not dart outside everytime I open a door. There are 14 cats that live with me, and I allow none of them outside at night, because of the coyotes that can be heard at times in the river bottoms. About half of them sleep with me on the bed, and seldom do I have to reach for an extra blanket when the temperatures drop.. I also try to keep all of my furkids inside during the day. I only let a few of them outside, especially when I go outside also -usually in the mornings. They usually stay outside for an hour or two and then want back inside.
