I see coyotes roaming my neighborhood all the time, but they rarely seem malicious (which isn't to say it doesn't happen...). Good luck w/ the new kitty.

She ate two cats in one week in late July and attacked another (my cat) who got away but required almost $900 worth of vet attention. The hysteria was a little unfounded since we get at least one or two in our area each summer when the heat it as its worst. We have lots of sources of easy water and prey in a relatively shaded neighborhood. The only downside is that some cats get eaten. It upsets the locals because all that is left behind is red, wet cat rags picked clean of meat. if the coyotes would learn not to leave what's left in people's yards, they'd probably just assume Fluffy ran away. The annual Coyote season is at least one good reason to keep your cats indoors but many of us have adopted feral cats who won't stay inside like my cat Inky. Some good came out of last summer's freak-out! I took a 3 month old kitten off the street and made her a totally indoor kitty. her name is Holly and she's very happy. She was mooching for food in the same area the coyote was being sighted regularly and I just didn't want to think of the kitten getting eaten. Actually, it was a coyote.

Given the average dog size for the area, it seems possible that the sign poster only saw a regular sized dog, assumed it was some sort of monster, and promptly went home to put their well-honed MS Paint skills to work.
