Why can't the coyotes of Hyde Park eat squirrels instead of cats?

It's been two years since I lamented the missing foxes with the loss of a JP urban wild. I'd better keep a camera handy to document this area. I didn't shoot the rabbit prints in the snow when we returned. Our back and side yards were pockmarked with bunny paw sets and belly rub evidence. Come to think of it, perhaps that coyote today was looking for them as well as stray cats.
