Re: [MLUG - DISCUSSION] coyotes in Columbia?

We have raccoons any given night that come into our garage to clean up 
any cat food that our two decided to leave in the bowl.  There's only 
been a few times we heard hissing and fighting, but I think for the most 
part the raccoons are just after an easy food score.  I've even scared 
off a raccoon when it was eating the cat food, and our cats were only a 
couple feet away and didn't seem too concerned.  Of course, our raccoons 
are fairly plump, and don't look anywhere *close* to starving.  That 
might be a different story.

Opossums (and coons) are scavengers.  I doubt they'd go out to kill a 
cat or dog, unless maybe they're rabid.  I can't find any supporting 
info that says they are routinely aggressive to cats or dogs.
