So I live in the country and I used to let my three kittens out to play, but stopped because To my horror I found them cornerd up a tree by three coyotes.. so no more outside

They are so mad about it! They will do things like claw me out of nowhere, knock stuff over, run and bounce/ claw my face. Trip me. And scratch at the door.. has anyone else dealt with this? It's becoming insane..

just let them out - cats are survivors - they were up a tree for a reason - because then the coyotes couldn't get them and they won't come down until the coast is clear ... if it was me I'd shoot the coyotes ... then you can feel better about leaving the cats out but geez, my cats have been out for many many years and I live in the mountains with lots of cat predators - owls, coyotes, fox, bear, bobcats, etc.

I know but there is more than three coyotes and I can't shoot them all and I would be devastated if they were killed. I wouldn't mind letting them out but they are starting to go in fields where there are no trees to climb so if a coyotes ambushed them they are screwed and one is really fat and slow lol he wouldn't make it

well then sorry, I don't have a suggestion for you - I don't worry about my cats and they are very fat and sleep on my porch where coyotes could easily get ahold of them but they haven't for whatever reason and they are around for sure

Do you have cat trees? Preferably one for each cat?
What's that? The wood maze type things?
That's one type. They need places to climb, jump, perch, look out windows, and scratch or they'll use your head. 😆
