Charlie has never seen another cat. I know they’re in the area because Eli has come home with another cat’s claw sticking straight out of his forehead (I have faith the other guy looked worse), but they never come around here, and Charlie and I have never crossed paths with other cats on our walks.

I have no idea if Eli has directly encountered any coyote besides Charlie, I’ve never been witness to it. I’m sure Eli knows Charlie’s individual scent and I would assume he would steer clear of coyotes while he’s roaming the countryside like the star of an old Western, but who knows. Maybe they’re his posse.
