A terrified cat was seen on surveillance footage scurrying up a proch beam and clinging to it for dear life after facing off with a coyote.

Texas resident Tony Gray shared incredible footage of the encounter on Facebook on Thursday. 

In the video, captured by the camera on the porch of his Surside Beach home,  a coyote can be seen charging at a ginger cat.

The cat, which does not belong to Gray, is then seen holding its own as it claws at the coyote’s face and lunges toward it.

The cat quickly hides under a porch chair but the wily coyote keeps chasing the feline and appears to be clawed a couple of times as it is cornered. o

The cat then decides to climb the porch railings but the coyote manages to get a bite of its tail, dragging the cat down a few times as it tries to escape the coyotes clutches. 

The quick thinking kitty then manages to outsmart the coyote and climb all the way to the top of the porch beam where it was totally out of reach.

Defeated, the coyote wanders around in circles and eventually leaves all while the cat hangs on for dear life.

Gray posted the footage, commenting on how lucky the cat was to escape the encounter.

So far no one has come forward to claim the cat as theirs.
