I manage a feral cat colony, spay and neuter the ones i can catch. I host 9-12 cats at any one given time. Some Come and go, Some stay, Some die of disease. I cannot control that and do not wish to. They are Free to Live in Peace and i get all the lovies as payment...Recently, Over the last 2-3 months, Ive lost the Matriarch (oldest) and a new male who was slowly acclimating. I live in old growth swamp so...it could be a bird of prey like an Owl? but i suspect it to be Coyotes given the way they died and just my overall experience with cats and coyotes as two species.

What would be the best way to keep them away. Wolf Urine? Trap Cameras with Spook lights or sound? They are like ghosts so hunting or waiting around for one is an effort in futility.

But i know if i don't do something they are gonna get more and more comfortable eating 'my' cats.

What would be a good solution without, hopefully, interrupting the other wild life?
