when suddenly we'd see as many as three hanging around the back yard. One had very distinctive long fur--I nicknamed him Fabio (guess Dad's not the only one who names the wildlife). Suddenly folks walking around our block were warning one another of skunk sightings, and several times when I had the windows open at night to get some fresh air, I'd have to close them due to skunk stink.
Dad saw a coyote slinking along one day while he was riding our bicycle around the block. I worry for the two cats two houses over that are indoor/outdoor cats. Toonces (named after the SNL skit with the driving cat) is pretty, uh, street smart and I think she'd be able to sense the danger and stay away. Not so sure about the other one, whose name I've yet to get.
