We've had yotes in our burb ever since I moved here. Now we have bobcats, too. Both prefer to stay near the creek beds. I have no doubt they get lots of kitty cats.
Even have a fox near the kids' school.
For my own part, I don't mind them. Every one I have seen has high-tailed it out of there. Let them eat rats.
If I were in the country, I would shoot on sight, though, to protect my livestock.
