True outdoor cats do annoyingly well with foxes/coyotes. Indoor/outdoor and indoor escapee cats ARE a favorite with foxes, even more so than with coyotes.

I promise I am not trying to sound like a jerk... but here it goes.

"Your" cat, and your is in quotes because if this cat has been roaming the neighborhood it has been more a nuisance than the fox has. It has been killing small lizards, song birds, it has been (if male) spraying everyone's homes, bushes, bbq pits, (if female) it has been wailing outside their windows. It hs been pooping in their yards, sand boxes, and vegetable gardens....

So here's my advise, keep "your" cat in your yard. Leave the fox alone. He is just doing what he is designed to do. The fox is more beneficial to the area environment than your cat has ever been.

If you are allergic to cats. Perhaps you should get a different pet next time.

Relocating the fox isn't likely to fix things as a new fox could easily move in. The issue is that your cat is getting old enough it can no longer defend itself like it once could. Build some safe spots around the backyard that only the cat can fit into and the cat will be less and less adventurous knowing there's a fox living nearby.
Shoefly!

Just like you lied to the fox when you put a cat in his territory but told him he couldn't eat it?

Not to derail the thread, but on Tour de France coverage today, the camera man showed a fox, in a field adjacent to the race, who had just grabbed himself some lunch, what appeared to be a rabbit.

The cat since we found him as a stray has lived his life by sleeping inside at night, going outside during the day and making occasional trips inside to nap and or eat. I don't want him fully domesticated because then he can't hunt or protect himself


Can't. Stop. Laughing.

What the hell do you think that fox is doing there Chester?

You should probably just crawl back to the politics board where they'll tell you your cat is special and has a right to live outside and kill every native bird it can get its paws on. I'm sure they agree that the native fox is vicious and shouldn't try to eat something lower than it on the food chain. It must be nice to feel entitled enough to let your animal run around without your neighbors complaining to you about it trespassing on their property every single day of its life and crapping all over their property, because who doesn't mind landmines in their flowerbeds and stuff smelling like cat piss.

Apparently not because I now need a fox to eat the cats that **** in my yard.

Truly great thread. Thanks everybody

Look man, go on the world wide web, order up some grey fox urine. Put out some canned cat food in the back yard. Squirt some fox piss around it. Sit on ur back porch after dark and have a few whiskies. Wait till fox arrives and put a pellet in his arss. Be sneaky tho. If u dont have everything listed. Get it. A good man can always find use for Kat nip and a pellet rifle.

Dont kill the fox. It aint doing anything wrong.
Dont let all these brobabbies hate on ur cat. They all nut on their k9 every weekend. My barn cats kick anybodies arss they meet. Love em.

Hippos by my memory kill more people every year then lions. They can be very aggressive

You don't have a pet. You have the animal equivalent of a teenager. It comes home for meals, it sprays the neighborhood, stays out all night and periodically gets in fights.
