Cat was lucky that coyote wasn't hungry.

That cat is very, very lucky. Having dealt extensively with coyotes, I've seen this behavior. Coyote will test play with a cat, leading it away to an area where another coyote is, they will then kill and eat the cat. I've seen this happen with small dogs as well. I've even seen where a coyote will test nip and test play with a larger dog, to only lead it to a family pack of up to 30 Coyotes, and then they kill and eat the dog. Sadly, once a Coyote starts seeing your neighborhood pets as a food source it will not stop killing the pets. At first it was thought you only needed to keep your pets in at night, but coyotes are very smart and will brazenly hunt pets in a neighborhood during daylight hours.

Cats know no fear. But only because they know they possess some of the fastest reflexes in the animal kingdom.

if there wasn't a person videotaping and the coyote was hungry, this would be a very different scenario

the coyote is not affraid of the cat, it is not at ease with the presence of humans.... hopefully, that cat never ends up all alone in front of this coyote, because surely it will end up in the coyote's stomach.

The cat was lucky the coyote was not hungry , could have been a different turn out of events.

My guess is if you werent there watching, the coyote takes the cat in a few seconds.

The funniest thing is the cat is SCARED of the humans lol... One smart ass cat

Ridiculous.... domestic cats are not afraid of people... coyotes wouldn't try that with people around. had the people not been there - this probably would have been different.

coyote probably wouldve eaten the cat if u guys werent around to scare em. :p

I could see. My self confusing that coyote for a dog.

Beautiful cat.

*no dialog* I'm just amazed at how brave that cat 🐱 was

The coyote doesn't appear to be in predator mode, which would completely change the outcome of this encounter.

I would say this is one lucky cat... food is plentyful for yotes during the summer months so hunger is not a priority. Maybe he is to busy itching... probably has worms seeing him sliding on his butt..

I'm worried that the coyote was more scared of you than the cat.

Is that your cat?

love the video. Actually, I think the cat is in love !

Such a friendly coyote. Stupid cat, he'll be back tonight for dinner.

sure was itchy. mange maybe?

su this not just ay cat but a siamese real mean

Are you serious...that coyote would be shot dead around here. They are not tolerated even in rural settings.

Brave? More like stupid lol... The cat was unsuspecting... Hat no clue that it could had been dinner.

wow never seen a coyote in daylight thats kinda odd must of had raybies or something

It's not a coyote its a dog
