Yeah I can understand being upset about losing a pet and daytime predators. We had chickens once in Texas and a pack of coyotes came through in the middle of the day and took a bunch of ours out. They must have been hungry to come out in the day like that! We also had owls and hawks that attacked them at night. And snakes! We had an indoor Siamese cat in Texas though. :) Here we have 2 cats and they are both indoor/outdoor. They sure are crazy! Thanks for the comment! Have a great day!
