A Burnaby woman is warning pet owners to stay vigilant after she rescued her cat from the jaws of a coyote recently. It happened about 4 a.m. on July 3, about a half hour after Angela Greene called her cat, Noonies, to come inside to her condo near Lougheed mall. It was rare for him to not come
right away but she believed it was a safe neighbourhood for the 12-yearold feline, a quiet place with lots of other friendly cats that roam around at night. Greene figures Noonies had sauntered back to the patio of her condo when she heard it from her bedroom: “a big kerfuffle on my patio and I knew it was my cat and I knew it was major and he was in trouble.” Her reaction was instant. “I just got up and ran out of bed into the night,” she recalled.

“Thankfully, there was several different directions I could’ve gone but I just went in a direction and … I kind of came around a corner and saw a coyote.” The coyote, about the size of a small German shepherd dog, had Noonies’ head in its mouth. The cat was “dangling there very loosely. It was just a horrific sight.” Greene shouted a sharp “hey” at the coyote before lunging at it. “I think the combination of my lunging and hollering at the same time scared it … He dropped
Noonies almost into my arms and ran.” She scooped her cat into her chest and ran home at breakneck speed. Once inside she could see “we were both just completely covered in blood, my condo was covered with blood, there was just blood everywhere.” Several days and a thorough cleaning later, Greene said she’s still coming across droplets of blood she missed. please see need to disCuss Coyote, A10

Even to the uninitiated, nothing says “significant art exhibition” like a serious boost to security. That’s just what’s coming to the Burnaby Art Gallery this fall when it hosts two exhibitions of works by Dutch artists spanning three centuries, including several by master Rembrandt. From Sept. 7 to Nov. 17, the BAG will be home to Storms and Bright Skies: Three Centuries of Dutch Landscapes, a touring exhibition of works from the National Gallery of Canada, the first such show at the Burnaby venue in over 30 years. The 65 works on paper from the Ottawa gallery will include several 17th century etchings by Rembrandt van Rijn, the prolific Dutch master believed to have produced upwards of 600 paintings and 2,000 etchings and drawings. The National Gallery show will be joined concurrently by an exhibit of 17 works titled please see exhibit, A3
