Hi Bumpy22 there was also a clip where a cat stood its ground and chased off a fox but can't find where I watched them, amazing what you see when out in the countryside Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alycidon Posted November 17, 2018 Report Share Posted November 17, 2018 When waiting up a high seat for parents of cubs that were about 120 yards away I had a second set of cubs playing around the base of the ladder !!. That was a surprise. A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Longstrider Posted November 20, 2018 Report Share Posted November 20, 2018 In my experience your average domestic 'Tiddles the soft and cuddly tabby' is actually such an agressive creature that 9 times out of 10 it will be the fox that runs from the cat. Seen these encounters so many times now and it's virtually always the fox that's on the back foot when the two meet. I think it's because the cat is willing to scrap it out if it comes to it, but the fox knows it cannot risk injury as being a wild animal injury nearly always = death. I don't have thermal (or the ££ for it unfortunately) but sitting out with a gun leads to all sorts of odd sightings, like the evening I saw a fox working it's way along a ditch-line that holds a tiny brook. Obviously onto some scent trail it was focused on what it's nose was telling it right up to the instant a big dog otter leapt out of the bankside vegetation and all-but tore it a new back orifice. I've had Charlie wander up as close as 8 or 9 feet on occasions, usually while sitting out for bunnies or roosting pigeons. 32g of #6 at that sort of range spoils their eyesight terribly .. they never see another thing.
