I don't often see many feral cats in Rock Creek Park - but I'd love it if the coyotes could do something about the rats.

I'm sure more coyotes will mean fewer cats.  I have several friends in 
Tucson who say that you can't let a cat outside there because the 
coyotes get them quickly.  Feral cats may be more vigilant than house 
cats, but they're still prey for the coyotes.
