Cats are Coyote fastfood!

Years ago when I was living in Decker Canyon we lost a large # of cats to coyotes.

My mom runs off to the pound to get a new kitten after about the third one to go MIA. My dad takes one look at the new cat and proclaims: "It's just another coyote hamburger."

...so we named her "Hamburger"

Hamburger lived to be 17 years old. LOL

I lost two cats to coyotes on the same day.

A while later, my roommate lost her cat. All we found at the front door was sh#t, blood, and fur.

I quit having cats, they don't listen anyways.

Animal's smell? Depends on which animal. Ron Anderson can id most all of them.

It is rumoured that love stinks,

but that was before the 1950's; makes my heart flutter, though Bo said it was bumpety bump.

The first pheromone ever identified (in 1956) was a powerful sex attractant for silkworm moths. A team of German researchers worked 20 years to isolate it. After removing certain glands at the tip of the abdomen of 500,000 female moths, they extracted a curious compound. The minutest amount of it made male moths beat their wings madly in a "flutter dance." This clear sign that the males had sensed the attractant enabled the scientists to purify the pheromone. Step by step, they removed extraneous matter and sharply reduced the amount of attractant needed to provoke the flutter dance.
