Sounds like you have a house skunk. Here's hoping he stays nice and calm. Might have to barricade the cats in bedrooms for a few hours while you leave the door open for him to go out.
I am glad we don't have to worry about coyotes here. Generally have to go about 100 miles north of the city to get into their territory.
Yep, I put Buddy in with Emma and kept Brindle with us and took up all food and water. It took a while but she finally went out! Much, much relieve. But I can see why people would descent them and keep them as pets.
I live close to the mountains, but they foray fairly deeply into suburbia by using the train tracks and such. Plus, we've had bad fires lately. I don't know if a majority of the critters weren't able to escape the flames or if there is now a population explosion of refugees amongst us. :(
This skunk was more than happy to stay inside and would scramble like mad to run back inside the three times I tried to shoo her out. I notice tempers are rising out there...and the back of her neck was pink and hairless. It seems a bit early for the mating season, though. She might just not wanted to be bothered.
