Cat Forum / Health and Behavior / October 2005Fox?
Yesterday the basement flooded after 10 inches of rain locally. The fire department was here to bail and in the confusion my feral cat went missing (I've since found her, praise God!) But while I was looking for her outside in the yard, with no contacts in yet, my eye was drawn to the next door yard. In a flash, I saw an orange animal moving toward a break in the opposite fence. It ran like a dog, but was the size of a cat. But when it jumped the 4 foot fence it did so in one smooth leap, like a cat would. Could it have been a fox? > Yesterday the basement flooded after 10 inches of rain locally.

I have seen them in Maryland, and they are so lovely. Sorry, suburb of Baltimore. They are known to live in my neighborhood. But it was the jump and the color that confused me. Do they jump gracefully like a cat? >> The city! But I've seen them before, just not so orange.

It's nice to know the area is still that rural in places. I remember the countryside being just beautiful--but I also remember the Hunt Valley area when it was called Cockeysville! (After the Cockey family, of course! ;) ) Well, when I said city, I meant that I'm just 4 blocks from the city line. And even in the city, the Gardenville area where I used to live, we had foxes. I heard them calling at night. Once I thought a child was in pain so I went looking! One morning in Gardenville I had to get up around dawn and walked the 15 feet to the end of the sidewalk, opened the gate to go to the car, and an animal whooshed by me, but I again suspect it was a fox. Man, we were within 2 feet of touching each other! >> >> Sorry, suburb of Baltimore. They are known to live in my >> >> neighborhood.

It was a beautiful sight... very early in the morning. They are very graceful and distinctive with their snouts.
