Havn't had them around for a few years but they are back now. It is nice to see. Especially since we have two new dog dogs, that they havn't scared the bun buns away. It is wise though to keep your kitty inside. Kitties and foxes don't sound like a good mix do they?? I think that animals don't really care what time of day they are out just so long as it is gloomy. Though yes most of the time they are usually out in the earliest part of the morning or in th evening just after sun set. The bunnies however were also out yesterday afternoon. But it was cloudy adn gloomy hence no shadow. Time for din din. I remember one year we had a bunny nest right in the veggie garden couldn't plant a darn thing in the one corner til the bunnies left. Though i think a cat or something ended up getting half of them During the whole day the momma left the nest unattended but would lay on it at night then pull out her fur to cover it back up. Never seen anything like it before or after. to cute. I love animals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope you are all having a great holiday weekend! We have some fox's hanging ou t in the woods behind our house so I wont let my kitty go outside and he is not a very happy camper about it. Poor baby . Those foxes have been comming in the yards eating birdseed out of the feeders so you know they are hungry and im sure my kitty would look like a tasty meal to them. They are actually making me a little nervouse too because you usueally dont see them in the day. Shaye Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes ya wonder. > > Debra > Syracuse > ehhh... probably cause it is free food. Why work for it and do the job of hunting when someone is giving the stuff away for free ya know. Though i would think fresh meat would be the prefered food though. That is funny. maybe they are on a new diet plan. Trying to reduce colesterol levels or something?? lol lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 30, 2005 Report Share Posted May 30, 2005 Ok from my Knowledge on foxes..........based on all the research I have done for a report for college; Foxes only become pest in your yard do to, 1. either there was a clear cutting done near by in your area, making them homeless, and food scaress. 2. they are starving do too lack of food. Foxes eat little rodants, rabbits, and birds (herbavores); BUT I don't believe they will eat a cat?, because they are (carnivores), don't quote me on that. 3. There water sorces could be scarce. It is NOT recommended to feed them or they won't leave, and to stay in doors when there around; because if they get scared they will bite. Foxes don't seek humans; but it usually ends up a fox getting Euthanized, because we don't think before we act. Call a local animal/pest remover, and ask them to relocate them!!! Just my opinion. Example: We had a grave yard down the road that was clear cut of the woods, and then the neighbors where complainning about coyote in there yard, and that the coyote's where killing there animals!! This led them to either being relocated OR Euthanized, and I believe they where talking about killing them Gabby > Goodmorning all!

In broad daylight, one of them was standing at the top of a hill in our back yard and didn't back down when my dd went out there. This weekend, my dd was in our pop up camper that was in the back and a fox scratched at the door trying to get in!! A neighbor reported seeing a couple of foxes cornering their cat. My neighbor said he was going to call the DEC tomorrow, so I'll find out what they think. They're making me nervous too. Beth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
