... my goodness how terrible for you xxxx
... my goodness how terrible for you xxxxLo and behold, a fox ran through my garden this afternoon and down the side of the house. This is the first one I have seen here, we live on the edge of the moors, after moving here in 2004.
Am not too pleased, there have been cases of myxi in Horwich which my vet thinks has been linked to a fox.
Something else to fret about! :?

Don't city foxes primarily scavenge? Rather than hunt?

They take anything and everything and some people bloody well feed them

I live in an urban area but there are a few parks nearby and the foxes are everywhere, I could easily spot 5 or 6 in the space of 10mins at night. People feed the foxes (I had been known to do it myself sometimes) so they have very little fear of humans.
A few years ago when I had just the one dog (a collie cross called Tess) one fox actually went through Tess's legs to get at my cat Jasmine, who likes to come out with us for our last walk. I picked the cat up and the fox was actually jumping up at me to get at her. I tried to shoo it away but it just ignored me, it followed us all of the way home. Needless to say I never fed the foxes again.
Now Tess has been joined by another 2 dogs (a 2yr old westie called Angus and an 11mth old shih tzu called Archie) and the westie goes mad at the slightest whiff of a fox. He is a true terrier, if he ever caught one (we keep him on an extension lead so he doesn't get the chance) I have no doubt that he would tear it to shreds, and the foxes seem to know it. I very rarely even catch a glimpse of them now at night and my cat can safely come with us.

Lived here five years and have never seen a fox.I have seen a pole cat though trying to get into the back garden and the catflap:shock::shock:
Thank Goodness my bunnies are in sheds.Even my cats were petrified of the pole cat.
Before i had bunnies/piggies and a dog at my other house we use to feed the foxes and badgers.They would come every night at 9.00pm on the dot.It really was a lovely sight when they would bring their young ones to feed.

Can't believe all you guys that have had foxes in the house:shock: jeepers!
My buns are outside the bedroom window & one night i was woken by the scratching of the wire on the hutch. Got up to investigate & could just about see a black n white figure running about. Thinking it was Dottie that she had got out, i went to open the door (patio door) and a badger flew towards the door:shock::shock: He was huge, my heart was beating so fast i nearly had a heart attack! My cat flew at the glass towards the badger:shock:
