Pet cat faces off with wild coyote in Los Angeles County neighborhood

A security camera captured the intense encounter between a family’s pet cat and a wild coyote in a Los Angeles County neighborhood. Owner Debbie Beltran said she was shocked when she later saw her neighbor’s footage. “Holy cow, that’s our house, and that’s our cat,” she said. “That’s Mama. Oh my god!” Beltran said the face-off happened last Friday on the street in the Pico Rivera neighborhood. In the security camera video, Mama and the coyote square off for several seconds, with the pet cat rushing the wild animal, which is twice her size. It continues until Mama rushes up a neighbor’s tree  “She was pretty high up. She was just hidden in there,” Beltran said.

“She’s very smart because she knew where to go to get away with it.” The Pico Rivera family, who owns several cats, adopted Mama five years ago. She came to them pregnant, which is how she got her name. They said that while the video shocked them, they weren’t completely surprised that their feline was so fearless.  “She does what she wants,” Beltran said. “She’ll come out, and if there are any cats around, she’ll rumble.”
