coons and cats usually get along sometimes one will go after the other if they are hungry or feel threatend in a fight a coon is obv much stronger and would win any serious fight
I thought it was a coyote at first, even though I've never seen one in the neighborhood. But a neighbor told me he lost his cat to a raccoon so I went on line and looked up raccoon scat. Then I looked at the spot where the cats were killed and there were several pieces of raccoon scat. That, plus the episode described in my post above, makes me think it was the raccoon family that lives 2 houses down from mine.

They may not be the threat of bobcats or cougars, but raccoons, especially babies, can still look like a nice snack or lunch to top-carnivore coyote. I live too far in the city, just along an urban wildlife corridor, to have personal experience; but just logically I can't see many smaller prey (raccoons, skunks, foxes etc) excited about hanging around that kind of situation for long. :?
