There was a cat and at least 3 kittens under my shed. Woke up today to the dirt dug out from all sides of the shed and 2 dead kittens laying in the yard. Im leaning towards dog because i figure a coyote would have ate them? But theres no dogs that roam free around here.

Best pics i could get.

Could be a dog or coyote. Hard to tell from prints alone.

Both kill for fun

Im not sure down in texas, but up here its that time of year when everything is raising young.

I have witnessed on more than one occasion yotes and fox killing for sport and not eating what they kill. Mostly chickens though

Distinction without a difference.

Coyotes are dogs.

Dogs would be my bet. Either way, both need killin. They'll move on to livestock next.
