Exactly. It was a little man-cat who was "disappeared" in the night. Had to have been coyotes. My man-cat, Rocco, is half-feral (rabbit hunter). Also a rescue. He patrols my property, and the younger man-cat thought he could do the same job. As I say, he'd been trapped in a dark, lonely apartment all his life and had made his life's mission to get out. Here he was free, and he loved it. One early morning he was just gone.
I remind myself that he had more than a year of his heart's desire and was happy and free and eating IAMS and having his long coat brushed every day. I even took him for steroid shots because, although I'd never heard of this, some cats are so allergic to fleas that just one does them in. Exterminators come quarterly, and I don't think there are fleas in my yard because the other eight animals had/have none, but the neighbors have animals and, I don't know, many some airborne flea poop landed on him or something. He would shred himself scratching and had scabs all over without the shots. Free info for other animal lovers is that this really is a thing. I had no idea until I saw it for myself.
