Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Cat policies [Was Suggestion for outdoor cats]

[Jessie Kome (jehako]

Hi-

This is in response to Sharon's comment that no predator stepped into the 
ecosystem when cats were pulled back. Actually - Eastern Village is in 
Maryland, on the boundary with the District of Columbia, and we apparently have 
some coyotes coming up from a nearby regional park.  They eat both rodents and 
cats.  So the animal control folks tell us to keep our cats close to home.
