Letter to the Editor

At one time, we could predict what hours to let our cats out and bring them in. You may be surprised that the coyote is roaming the streets and jumping fences all day long. Coyotes have an extremely keen sense of smell as to where there is an opportunity. Small dogs are an extra responsibility in comparison to a larger dog when it comes to having them in Malibu. Folks, you may think you can stand and watch them in your yard and they are safe—that’s not the case.

Leashes are a must in your yards. The missing signs go up and these small dogs and cats are disappearing. Owls also take pets after dark.

If you have a smaller size dog or cat, it can feel like a war out there. Your small dogs should not go out for potty breaks off leash, even in their own fenced-in yard.
