| you'd think so....
 but cats have a weakness that the coyotes have keyed in on
 
 and that is...  when they are transfixed onto prey such as a chipmunk, mouse or bird
 they concentrate on closing the distance and develop tunnel vision
 crouching to stay unseen... never taking their eyes off their quarry
 
 they don't OFTEN watch their "6"   and the coyotes sneak up and grab them
 i know because i lost two well schooled cats in 2 weeks down there
 in buzzards bay on a short visit.....
