The coyote killed Munchkin, Stephen and Dianna Purciello’s cat. The couple says they are not upset with the coyote. They say they are upset with the golf course's management for not telling them about the coyote until it was too late.
"She was my special baby," said Dianna. "No one even knew there was a coyote."
The couple says they never thought they would lose their favorite cat to a wild coyote.
But last week, a maintenance worker found Munchkin’s remains in the middle of the club golf course.
The Purciello's say they're upset because the Island Country Club Golf Course knew about the coyote as early as October but did little to protect residents and their pets.
"If there's a predator on the golf course, just alert people to that fact," said Stephen.
"I’m very sorry for the loss of their pet," said golf course superintendent Wayne Kappauf.
Now, course employees are hoping to catch the coyote by setting up traps around the course.
"He’s pretty sneaky because he's actually taking the bait out of the traps. He's pretty clever," said Kappauf.
