It's a fox. They will run from anything until you corner it or it's defending it's babies. My cat chased one down a street.

They will kill kittens sometimes but in the UK and other places where they're urban, they uuuuusually get along with cats. That being said? There's a stray colony and LARGE foxes in my neighborhood here in Germany and they will take small cats. We've unfortunately had them snatched right under the window; the sounds are horrific. Keep your cats indoors, folks.

For real lol. That was some posturing, and minor. Also a good example of how dangerous it is to leave your cats outside, though at least in the UK foxes usually leave cats alone

Cats should be careful with foxes. An older fox who knows what cats are, can easily kill it. Many have experienced that foxes have taken all the cats in the neighborhood, and specialize in catching cats. A young fox will probably be very careful before it knows how to overcome a cat. Fox tactic is to run straight at the cat with wide open jav.

When the cat turns and runs away, the fox bites across the lower back. Foxes have a strong bite. Foxes can also smell blood and newborn kittens from a long distance.

It's a city fox, they eat a lot of trash and roll in oil, unfortunately.

Bear in mind those are UK prime ministers. Some of them can't even beat a lettuce.

Fox/Cat confrontations are not rare, and the outcome is about 50/50. Keep your cats inside.

3 days ago | Likes 15 Dislikes 1

Yeah I think it's important to distinguish that it's 50% the cat run off the fox and 50% the fox kills the cat.

An old family friend got a cat, runt of the litter. Tabby cat, they named him Hobbes.

Hobbes preferred fresh fruit over kibble.

Hobbes grew up to become an absolute UNIT. He would fight the neighborhood dogs of any size and win. He killed several. He killed raccoons. He killed everything that crossed his path.

House down the street sued them over a dead dog so they had Hobbes declawed. He would still box the shit out of other pets and animals but with no defenses they made him an indoor kitty

Every year our neighborhood loses outdoor cats to foxes. I think we're honestly just down to one black and white that lives a few houses down, there used to be so many you'd always have a kitty company outside gardening, and it was never your cat.

They're urban in the UK, and typically either get along with or avoid cats. It's just kittens you need to look out for mainly

Fox barks like a medium-sized dog. Short and a bit silent bark, one to three times. The young ones have bright voices, while the old males are extra rusty and rough.

I don’t think I have ever heard a fox bark as part of the usual late night cacophony, however I have definitely heard them screaming/hollering/ yowling. It’s a weird sound, it does kind of sound like an old woman screeching. But yips and barks are not what come to mind when I think of foxes vocalizing

All dogs can make different sounds. Puppies also have their differences. But when we hear a fox in the forest, it lets out small barks as it patrols its territory at night. It is rare that we hear puppies playing, but I have seen and heard them. Much like puppies. The mating game of foxes can produce many sounds much like a dog. But mostly we hear little barks as they move around. They are probably males.

I always think of the giggling and how fucked up it would be to hear in the middle of the night in the woods.
