Wild video shows cat fights off coyote, narrowly escapes attack on Texas porch

An encounter between a cat and a coyote was caught on video, with the feline narrowly escaping, as a Texas town deals with a rise in coyote sightings. Tony Gray's home surveillance camera recorded video of the coyote-cat melee as it unfolded on the Surfside Beach porch early Thursday morning. "Coyote upstairs on my beach house rear deck..." he wrote on Facebook. The cat tried frantically to hide or escape from the coyote. It appeared to have suffered a few close calls in the jaws in the wild animal. Eventually, the feline made its way to safety up the porch support and the coyote moved on. #caughtonvideo #coyote #cat READ MORE: An encounter between a cat and a coyote was caught on video, with the feline narrowly escaping, as a Texas town deals with a rise in coyote sightings.
