I will say this --I see 10 Dogs for every 1 Cat around here. And I think I know the reason why.
Without getting too graphic, the Hawks and Owls in this area are voracious.....they will eat anything that doesn't eat them first. I was just talking to a guy today, and he said he watched a Hawk nab his cat right out of his backyard. The Hawk was big enough to carry away this full grown cat -- a decent sized dog would be too heavy.
I was looking out over the Golf Course last summer and I watched a huge Barred Owl swoop down out of a tree and grab a squirrel. He didn't flap his wings at all, just glided down behind him and snagged him.
Old Squirrel never heard that Owl coming after him. If that Owl can lift a squirrel that size.....no Cat is safe.

This is cool to read. Nature taking its course. I love birds, but one of my favorite it the Owl. I love the power of the Owl and the sound they make in the trees.
