The other morning Mini Scaredy the feral cat was sleeping on my chest, when this coyote suddenly popped it’s head up from behind the tall grass a couple yards away from us. I was surprised when Mini Scaredy suddenly jumped off my chest and rushed directly at the coyote in full sprint. And to my greater surprise, the coyote went running away, and fled up the hill until it disappeared from sight.
Surprising because a.) The coyote is about 5 times bigger than the cat. And b.) the cat is on the wrong side of the predator/prey equation, re the coyote.
So go figure.
