Those cats have the softest, lushest fur imaginable ... NO PETTING though.

Not all that surprising, given the extensive parkland in the river valley.

I think it's very surprising. The river valley does draw all sorts of wildlife in through the ravine system, but the only Lynx I've ever seen was so incredibly shy of people I thought it was going to have a heart attack because it had been seen by humans.

What I meant was all that forest gives it good cover to hide from us, while at the same time providing an abundant food source.

True enough. I work around the Leg, and there are rabbits all around here. Most likely because coyotes and kitties are scared of people.

If your coyotes are scared of people they're wussies compared to the ones on the coast who've actually started buying houses and moving into neighborhoods that were once the exclusive domain of white, middle aged, martini swilling, wife swapping, country club living cats and dogs.............then eating them.

I don't let my cat out of the house, and I see coyotes all the time at the dog park saying "come play next meallittle puppy! Really, we're friendly!".

But they are scared of me, and my 22/303.

Hey that rhymes!
