1. Coyotes

Every summer, many pet cats and dogs go missing because of these fierce creatures. Contrary to what many suburbanites believe, coyotes are found all over North America and make their homes in parks, river corridors and even cemeteries. So, if you live in coyote country, you should think twice about letting your cat or small dog out overnight. Do not leave pet food out overnight, as this attracts coyotes, and be sure to secure your household garbage, as these predators and others are resourceful scavengers.
