foxes and cats


Recommended Posts


If you notice around July August time lot of cats go missing I put it down to vixens taking cats for their fast growing Cubs especially urban foxes because field mice birds ect are not enough for them was asked to dig litter of Cubs on a farm few years back dug them with a terrier just behind the farm in one of the entrances was an orange and white cat along with usual bits of crow mice ect that farm is only half a mile from a small housing estate

A big old Tom will be a match for a Fox most days I would say but for younger cats finding there way they will have it hard with the foxes 

those London cat things were definitely the work of foxes or stray dogs 

There were around 300 cats taken mate, would be more likely a pack of wolves than fox’s or feral dog?

DCs video is the normal outcome of fox cat encounters it’s to much risk of injury to the fox to take a cat, I,ve killed a lot of feral cats over the years and they can make a mess of a good dog even ?

You not think it was more the knack of a vulpine who’s adapted to killing them quickly ?? 

Would be surprised mate and I did speak to a couple of people who had lost cats up there and they were more mutilated than eaten, the official government report said it was fox’s but the people involved said it wasn’t and the police were just shirking there responsibility by blaming fox’s, bit of a mystery that one??? ??

The worst one I ever had was in a scrap yard dog stuck it’s head in an old car and came out with a cat wrapped round her head, all four sets of claws and teeth stuck in, mind you we were still legal on everything back then and she was equaly as hard on fox and pigs so her face was a bit of a patch work by the time she passed, plus I was young and at it every day so probably had about 5 modern lifetimes worth of work ??
