So I made post on gb a couple weeks back about a fox in my neighborhood having standoff with my cat ,today they spotted the fox chasing my cat and I want him eliminated or taken care of before he hurts my cat. How should I tackle this problem , by trying to bait him and trap or should I just call pest control ?

I'd keep the cat out of the fox's habitat. (i.e. keep it inside)
He's an outdoor cat, my mom has bad allergies. He stays in the garage at night
Bring you cat inside. A cat is an easy meal for a Fox, coyote or bobcat.

Oh he's an outdoor cat. Then it's his problem...

Letting the fox eat the cat sounds like an upgrade to me.
I hate you all
Look. It is completely unreasonable to remove or trap a Fox because of an issue with a domestic cat.
In the 18 years I've lived at this house, we never had a problem with foxes. Deer yes, possums and raccoons sure. But this fox has shown up in the past month and has been giving my cat hell. The cat has been in his share of fights with other resident pets and if he was in his prime I would have no quarrel, but he's on the downside of his life and don't want to come home one day to find him laying lifeless on the lawn
That prob ain't the way it's gonna go down.
Your fox is probably relatively young and very curious. They are inquisitive by nature. Either shelter the cat or let things run their course.
And you felt the need to show me this because ?
Kitty on kitty violence
You might have cougars in your neighborhood. So I found several vids of foxes eating kitty's but none were really relevant.
The only cougar I have in my neighborhood lives just down the street in the cul de sac who spends her days tanning by the pool and swiping her husbands credit card
Wild animals will do what wild animals do. If you don't want your cat to get eaten you probably shouldn't let it roam the neighborhood.
Gee wiz what a great suggestion , im glad I didn't think of that before
Seriously. The cat is outdoors and in the fox's space. If the cat killed a bird or mouse you would be ok with that.
Welcome to the OB. Grow a pair or GTFO.azulAg said:

It's not that I don't have a pair, I'm just trying to figure why showing me a video of a panther killing a cat had to do with my FOX problem

That ain't no bobcat!
Way to roll out the welcome mat fellas. Well, if he does decide to stay he'll be a keeper and we can all chuckle some day about his first post about the invasive fox.
Edited to add that the OP spends most of his time on the Politics board so either he does have thick skin or he's nuts. Time will tell which one.

I have cats, I love cats. But I also live in an area that foxes & coyotes & Hawks & owls live. Would I ever let one of my a-hole cats outside to live? Nope. Because they would get eaten. It is nature. So if you don't want it to get eaten make it an inside cat.
Im 13 years to late for that
Then start digging a hole.
Oh **** don't get me started on the damn birds that constantly dive bomb the cat

This can't be serious.

I was waiting for this to come up
Shoot the fox in the nuts.
A little of both

Mmmm could be. Unless of course he really does live at mom's house with his cat.
This thread delivers. The responses were exactly what I expected after reading the op. Well done OB.
I live in college station in an apt. My brother keeps calling me about the cat and fox back home
