We've lost a few cats that snuck out over the years and that's just what happens. Our hillbilly neighbor about lost his mind about his chickens, though. He was raising them in his garage and letting them roam during the day. After he lost about a half a dozen, he called the sheriff blaming my dogs. Well, we have a Pet DeFence, so I showed the deputy and she said if Foghorn Leghorn was in my yard, he was fair game. Sure enough one ventured over and our lab got him. Called the neighbor and told them to come get the damn thing out of my yard. He sent his cousin wife over to get it. They may have had chicken soup that night, but I can't say for sure. They built a coop later, but the coyotes figured out how to get in, so no more damn chickens.
BTW, the deputy bought one for her dogs a week later.
