HOUSTON – Coyotes on the attack in Montrose?
It’s what residents told KPRC 2 has been taking place in recent days; “I lost my cat too,” said resident Donna Drennan after counting at least four cats that have gone missing.
When asked how many people have lost their pets? Drennan didn’t hesitate, “God knows, I mean she did, she did, there was two cats down the street here, you just don’t know because they just disappear and you think they are going to come and then a few days later your realize they are never coming back.”

Donna Drennan along with one of her neighbors took KPRC 2 for a stroll along West Main and the surrounding streets in search of where at least two coyotes have been seen since Friday, “They’re all over the place.”
While Drennan showed us a video of an alleged attack taking place, others provided images and even a video of a coyote walking around in clear daylight.
A few residents walking their dogs late Monday afternoon acknowledged seeing a coyote a few blocks away from the area of the latest sightings.

Drennan says she hired a private trapper to come out on Tuesday after getting nowhere with the city and state in an attempt to catch the coyotes.
For many who have spent years living in Montrose, this is the first they have ever heard of coyotes in their backyard.
