The athleticism of cats is insane.

Cat runs, he gets attacked, cat stands his ground, he survives.

Two things that will always keep a cat in a fight no matter the size difference, those vicious claws and blazing speed in those paws

Good Kitty!!!... NEVER DECLAW YOUR CATS!!!

I want to make sure everyone knows that we were not at home when this was captured. We were gone on a trip and saw it after "rewinding" it a few days prior to coming home. Please know that if this did happen in front of me I would have done everything in my power to save and assist that cat.

That was a pretty good sized coyote and it got in some damage to the cat. I am thinking the cat dug that coyote's muzzle up pretty good. Once the cat was backed up against the fence and stayed low, each time was exposed to razor sharp claws. Coyote does not want to an lose eye as there few Ophthalmologists near his den so he packed up and left.

Coyotes really don't want prey that fight back. Once the cat established that it wasn't going to be an easy meal, the coyote backed off. Cat was very lucky the coyote didn't have backup, cause it's rare that they are solo.

Domestic cats are tougher than people think. Pound for pound, a cat can out-fight most dogs. And a wild life expert told me a coyote must fight every day for food...either with the prey or with another coyote or predator. They get really good at fighting with all that practice. The cat prevailed but was lucky there wasn't backup.

That coyote was hungry, but the cat was angrier. XD

Brave cat with a heart of a lion

That's a mean kitty. Haha hell yeah. Claws are a game changer and this cat knew how to use em

For those who have ever thought about declawing their cats,please watch this.If your housecat escapes out of the house and gets lost and in a situation like this,without claws it won’t stand a chance

That's why cats that are outside should never be declawed

cats can be very strong and bite deeply . Their claws can tear a dog's eye out. I think that coyote walked away with a torn nose and wounded face

That is one tough cat. I really hope it survived.

I'm proud of that cat

The off the fence jump was bad ass ninja move.

What Ive learned: Cats can defend themselves.

If that cat was the same size of the coyote what would happen?

Coyote: "I'm telling my dad"

Coyote's like "Where the hell is my backup?"

Brave courageous cat, fighting for his life and winning !

Amazing. That cat was in real trouble. There was no way for him to get enough lead time to get up a tree (or the fence as shown at the beginning) The only chance was to stand his ground. Looks like he prevailed albeit in the process losing a few of his nine lives.

Now, scale the cat up to the size of the coyote. Even half the size, like the size of a male bobcat.

You could tell that coyotes looking around going;" Hey guy's!!! A little help please?" And his buddies where laughing too hard to do anything for him.

This cat fights back like a Catyote. Still has 8 lives to go!

Amazing! That's a smart cat! He knew he shouldn't turn his back or run away.

0:19 The cat is smart. If you look carefully you will see that once it decided to stand its ground it instantly made a move that saved its life. The cat backed up to the fence..which protected its back and left the Coyote will only one path of attack...the front where the cat used its claws to fend off the Coyote

This is why you never trim your cat's claws if you let them roam.

Never ceases to amaze me how small cats can defend themselves vs animals twice their size & larger

That cat held his ground.. Good for him..

Somebody should show this to the other cats on the farm. You know none of them believed it when this cat told them about it.

I would love to see a Coyote get run down by a bob cat. This cat did well.

Looked like the coyote started howling for backup. Cats are bad ass.

What a recovery! That's a damn good cat.

Man, props to that cat. Cat taught humans how to stand up to a bully.

Bad ass cat! My Champ would so do this as well.

Coyote is like “I think thats my mom calling me. Yeah. My mom is calling me home for supper. You’re lucky cat”

That is one VERY lucky cat. Cats are getting eaten daily here

By the way the coyote was behaving after the first scuffle, It looks like the cat got some good cuts in on the coyote's nose around 00:17. He was in some pain, and you can tell by his body-language, he'd lost quite a bit of confidence. Cats' claws are sharp!

I’m so glad the cat was able to defend themselves and get away. He fought with courage and did not let the bigger coyote frighten him and I’m hoping that he got to the vet straight away! I had two cats 🐈‍⬛ that died by a pack of coyotes :( I’d hate for someone else’s fur baby to go through the same ordeal. I give this cat. Lot of credit!

Cats were once wild and evolved to instictively show no fear . They can be in fear but wont show it for as much as it can

You need to get a warm bed for that brave cat

That cat said, not today Satan. Not today.

Cats' claws are actually deadly when it slashes a canine's precious nose. Good luck to that coyote.

Coyote walks away in shame. He won't be telling this story to his friends.

Go Cat!!

Lb. for lb. cats are pretty tough. I watched in slow motion, I think I seen him grab the coyotes face and deliver a few hind leg swipes with those back claws. Just all claws. Cool footage.

I've seen a lot of these domestic cat vs coyote videos, and this is the only one where a cat survived by fighting the coyote. All the other videos, the cat stands the ground and fights but once the coyote gets it's jaws on the cat, it's over. The other videos where the cat survives, it climbs up some kind of post and just waits for the coyote to leave. This video here shows something the other cats that stood their ground but lost didn't do, this cat backed up against the fence and forced the coyote to come straight at it. This cat nearly screwed up when they were out in the open, a tactic I've seen other housecats use...over extending themselves and leaving a weakside open to attack, only to end up as coyote dinner, but this cat was lucky enough to recover and back up to the fence.

Cat protected his back and rear by being against a wall, keeping the claw in the Coyote's face, keep it alive.

Coyotes probably think that humans were put on earth to provide them with cats and dogs to eat.

This is why you don't keep your cats outside.

Moto in life :- Never give up ... NEVER!

I’m like, “Get to the tree! Get to the tree!” 🥺 Stressful to see a cat like that and I know they are predators too, but I love them.

I hope that wasn’t your house cat. but I’m glad little cat stayed safe I kept saying claw his!! freaking eyeballs out!

If it was a wolf, then this is how they lure their prey. They pretend to be frightened and lead the victim to a place where other wolves are waiting for them. But maybe coyotes do too. But cats are smart and do not go far from home.

Warzone Sniper watching all the action from that far house 😂👌

Back in the 70’s we had a Stafford from England , about 35 pounds , male , we moved to Florida , got a house and started to find large cats dead in the back yard , big cats , even a Manx , not a pit bull , a Staffordshire Bull Terrier

ONE BRAVE LITTLE KITTY!!

The cat has to win every time while the coyote only needs to win once.

I cannot imagine the adrenaline that an animal must go through trying to save itself from being eaten alive

That cat was on that husky energy when he fighting that coyote you saw him tried to wall bounce💀

My cat saved me from a dog I was going to check the mail came out my front door there was a dog trying to get through our neighbors fence fighting with it it heard my keys turned around and charged me ran across the street up our driveway and was getting ready to Lunge on me Charlie came around the corner jumped on that dog's face started ripping its eyes out it won't be able to see or smell ever again I just hosed the blood down the driveway then loved on my precious Charlie

"You may make a meal of me, but it's going to cost you - dearly"

Interesting that I've seen so many cats fend off dogs big dogs 40 50 60 lb+ dogs with their paws and but they have trouble fending off coyotes. Coyotes just must be tougher, smarter or they look for different angles to to get at the cats vulnerable points. Cats really do have a hard time with coyotes.

It’s not the size of the cat in the fight that matters. It’s the size of the fight in the cat.

Tough cat didn't give up

When the cat quits backing up it’s time to leave, because kitty has the beast sorted out and she knows she’s got this!

Cats may sleep a lot but they are capable of incredible bursts of energy when needed, if you've ever watced a cat chase down a rabbit you can see the tremendous amount of speed they can summon for short periods of time.

Cat was finally eaten by the coyote 3 days later.

Wow, good thing that coyote left, he was about 3 seconds away from being cat food. Way to go Sprinkles

Coyote found a kitty cat who ain't fronting no games. Taste my claws.

right when they went behind that wall , I actually thought the coyote was going to show up with the cat in its mouth

The cats can't beat coyotes, guys. The coyote is used to meals that don't fight back. He's gauging how worth it it is to get scratched up just to eat. When he's hungry enough, he won't care and the fight ends fast.

That coyote must have been starving to continue going after obviously dangerous prey.

Bad ass cat

lmfao, coyote is like "bruh wtf is that stinging pain I'm feeling anytime I get close? This opossum really got some hands on him" It probably thought it was like a typical wild small animal like a skunk or opossum. Probably wondering why there's some mysterious feline creature suddenly in the wild tearing up his snout lmao.

Coyotes give up pretty easy. About half way through the clip the Coyote is calling out for help from his pack.

When lunch fights back.....

That coyote rather goes for an easier prey , this is why some dog can 'scare' away bears for example , not because they can't kill them but the wild animals can't take risks of getting a fatal injury even if they win

This dense fence prevented the cat from escaping to home and the owners from noticing the danger.

Coyote was like fuck this shit lol

i remember when i saved my cat from my agresive dog

Cat used several of his nine lives when the coyote got some distance but the cat didn't climb over the way to ensure it's safety.

That coyote makes me laugh I don't know for some reason

That coyote would be very very easy to call in

1 cat vs 1 coyote “cat wins” 1 cat vs 2 coyotes “rip cat” 1 cat vs 3 coyotes “cat fuckin dead”

Cat's are nothing to fool with. Yea a Coyote is viscious but a cat in all fight mode may not win the battle but it can definitely do some serious damage. The Coyote re-assessed the situation when he realized he failed at catching the cat off gaurd and it would end in a grewsome battle with the Coyote himself sustaining injuries even though he would win.. ..injuries can lead to infection which leads to death.. ..Coyote wasn't hungry enough to risk it and decided he would try to catch his next victim by surprise.

Cat: YOU AIN'T EATIN' ME, MUTHAFUCKA!

Pepto bismol commercial: when the food fights back

Omg poor cat! You know he has bites everywhere and hope they healed and not get infected. I recently had a cat I usually feed come with his arm bite and a whole piece was missing.

Coyote was looking around for backup, would have been the end of the Kitty.

That cat did a come from behind win

"I'm a Midwest menace, I'm a Midwest boss I'm like a black cat, I'm the wrong nigga to cross" King KB-

Awesome Mary :)

That's one lucky cat. And although I have no proof, I would bet that was a young coyote (born Spring 2019, based on the date at the top of video).

It is when there are two coyotes that the cats do not stand a chance.

That was scary amazing...had a cat that incredible once when I was 10- his name was coincidentally Orpheus, but it was completely apropos.

Кот противостоял волку.Хотя кот намного меньше.Это сила духа.

Haha that cat stood up on them coyotes
