      Cats and foxes avoid each other the vast majority of the time because they don’t want to get an infected scratch or bite.

      In the UK the’re pretty bold, urban foxes live pretty much on top of us. I’ve got a family living right outside my door this year (much to my dogs distain) that just kind of sit there watching me. They’ve got no predators other than cars and the occasional Tory voter.

        Do you know where I could adopt a Tory for cheap? I’m getting sick of foxes tearing my litter bags to shit, might help to have a telegraph reader on a lead out front overnight

          You can encourage them by putting up a flagpole and running up a union jack. This alone likely won’t be enough as you’ll be looking to attract the blue blooded variety, so you’ll need to raise house prices in the local area.

    I imagine this is like a scene from a horror movie: While you’re looking at them, they’re still, but after not looking at them for a moment, they are closer. And eventually the inevitable jumpscare happens.
