I think now that it is getting warmer I see the foxes become more brazen and coming closer. Today I saw one of the foxes chase the one of the ferals, he was on his tail I screamed and my boyfriend went out to see what was going on. the cat was hiding under our next door neighbors grill cover and the fox somehow lost track of the cat and was drinking water out of a bowl. I am trying my hardest to capture the two ferals of mine, to see if I can domesticate them. this is proving very challenging since my two cats come to feedings together mommy & son, I can't trick them and capture one without the other seeing the capture since they're like attached at the hip, where one goes the other follows. If it wasn't for the foxes I wouldn't be as freaked out. the foxes are like 2x the size of the cat, cats have nails and teeth but foxes have a bigger mouth. are the fox trying to kill the cats for food? what can i do? I can't bear with the thought of any cat getting hurt. but I live near a preserve and the fox are just natural to this area in suffolk county long island, i read about sprays that deter the foxes, but that these don't really work and it gets washed away with the rain. any advice anyone can offer would be appreciated. it was terrifying watching the fox chase one of the cats, I was frantic. cat vs. cat is one thing and raccoons generally don't even bother with cats but the fox seems like it has the advantage over the cat, and my heart was going to explode watching that encounter.
