The cat, called Max, was cornered by the much larger wild dogs outside his family’s home in Highland Park, California, last Monday night.

The kitty managed to scare one of the coyotes enough to prompt the dog to leap up onto a nearby wall. Max managed to keep his back to the predators, and swipe at each dog in turn as it advanced on him. Max’s owner Maya Gurrin managed to interrupt the coyote attack which could have cost her pet his life (Picture: KTLA) His ordeal finally ended when owner Maya Gurrin noticed the shadow of a tail through the living room window, where she was watching TV with her husband. Gurrin told KTLA that she went outside and was horrified to discover the coyotes in her yard. She said: ‘I just kind of scream and lunge at them, and then they run away, and Max comes, like, strolling in as if nothing happened, ‘It wasn’t until we saw the security footage, we were like, “Oh my God, he was out there for a good 30 seconds at least just fighting these guys off.” ‘I knew he was like, an outdoor cat and could fend for himself, but nothing like that.’ Gurrin said that Max hates being indoors, with she and her husband now trying to work out a compromise that gives him his freedom while keeping him safe. They are going to try putting Max on a leash for outdoor walks, although Gurrin suspects her pet will hate it.
