twice a giant fox entered my house and had a fight with my cat ?

Question

i was Zzzz - passed the out cos on those occasion, paralyzed by the alcohol content flowing through my viens heh


yet, a fortinght back - some fuzzy brown/orange BIG thing.....*i even tried opening my eyes during deep sleep/dream state...but kept falling back into ....deep sleep/dream state( .....noticed it for a split second, walking towards my cats food /water dishes and scratch pole.


Then I could have sworn I heard ferocious meowing and what not.

when i finally awoke - my cat had a huge tail, the size of a bush - and she was PURRING heavily, her body was tense and she looked incredibly lively.

so i picked her up and tried to stroke and pet her, to calm her down - it then dawned on me, what had happened.

the 'big brown/orange entity' that entered my house was infact a fully grown adult fox


its my belief the fox 'ignored' my cat, and went straight for her food - but was thwarted when my cat (naturaly very territorial and fiercely possessive of their boundaries and scent marked owned items...) attacked the fox.

we have a little utility room which i believe, my cat chased this fox out from and tried to engage it in 'mortal combat'.

thank GOD - the fox didnt DECIDE to just retaliate.

otherwise id have had to pay ££££ Vet bills (it was a huge fox, could have done some serious damange to snugglepuss).

but my cat lived to tell the tale - shes a brave felid indeed.

i found my nike air trainer on a garden chair later that morning, way too heavy for my cat to drag - so i figured the fox did this , since foxes are scavengers and not hunters like cats.


last night he came in again - and sadly, i was Zzzz the out again.


the cat and fox had anothre bout of boxing , and this time the fox did a runner.

either this fox is a dangerous threat to my cat - or its not.

what do u make of this ?

is this fox dangerous ?

Answer 1

I'm assuming this is for real!! If this fox is coming in via your cat flap, lock it overnight!! I know this means cat can't go out, but with this big fella out there, your cat is probably safer off indoors during the night.



I wouldn't expect a fox to physically kill a cat. However, not to say it couldn't happen.



Just be aware that foxes carry parasites, including fox mange which can transfer to our pets. They also carry worms, most likely, and fleas and ticks. So he's not a critter I'd want hanging around, and certainly not in my house!!

Answer 2

Try putting on your sprinklers all night long??? That might help or puta hose with a sprinkler that will block where its trying to go maybe? Wow hes tring to evice you from your home isnt he!! I always find it odd, almost a cry for help when an animal enteres a building. We had a large super friendly lost pit bull come into our store, he came in the elect doors after a customer left, I watched him then push through the lil swinging doors where the cashiers were, as if hed been in there before, he sat and looked, he was polite, and was just begging for love. We fed him and chained him outside the store, he was trying to hard to get adoped all on his own. We all felt aweful knowing the pound would put down this awesome animal *I hate pits, this was a real companion, love oozed from this dogs aura. This dog did his best to save himself. It makes me wonder about the cat, hes in need, maybe a neighbor wants to adopt him or something.

Answer 3

How does the fox keep entering? Do you have a doggy door? You should probably be a little more cautious. Your cat got lucky but might get serous hurt unless you prevent it.

Answer 5

Close and lock your doors and windows before you go to sleep
