I'm so sad

He was the best guy. He stayed close to home, but hated being inside, even in the worst weather. I put a huge cat tree out for him, fed him the best food, built him little shelters all around my house, and did everything I could to keep him warm and safe.
The neighbor a few houses over abandoned their mean tomcat when they moved. He started running my kitty off when he wanted to take his food.
After a few days of not being able to stop him, I tried to find options for the mean cat.
I was too late. Last night, the neighborhood coyotes came closer than usual, and they got him after the mean cat chased him away.
I'm crushed. There is nothing more I could've done. I tried making him stay indoors many times, but he would just hide until he could sneak out.
Once outside, he was so friendly and loving. It's sad and I just wanted to tell someone.

Send cute kitties! Or cookies, if you have my address hah!

Thank you so much for the kind words. You guys are the best.
We've talked it over as a family and decided that the mean cat was already failed once when his family abandoned him. My sweet kitty wouldn't have hurt anyone or anything, so we won't, either. We are going to try to trap him, get him fixed, and offer him a chance at a life with people who care. Getting rid of him, no matter how, won't bring my kitty back. Maybe some kindness and trust will help.
