Coyotes attacking pets and alarming residents are roaming around Decatur, and others have been seen in the North Briarcliff area.

A Decatur woman told Channel 2 news that a coyote killed her cat recently, and she's trying to get the city to do something about it whether it means trapping or killing, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

North Druid Hills and Briarcliff residents are well-acquainted with coyotes, however. They're almost routinely spotted prancing around the area. The North Briarcliff Civic Association sent out a note to residents this afternoon saying they'd been spotted again.

North Druid Hills-Briarcliff Patch has been writing about coyotes in the area all year. Here's a few of our stories. Sorry for the headlines. You start to get loopy with coyote headline writing after about two of them, I've discovered.
