Linda, down the street is in Peggi’s yoga class and she told Peggi she thinks they have a fox living in their backyard. It turns out a few neighbors all think they have a fox living on their property. It’s surely the same fox, golden brown, somewhere between a cat and dog in size. We’ve seen it many times now and we were sitting out back when it pranced by with something in its mouth. I was certain it was part of our neighbor’s black cat. I kept my eye out for the cat the rest of the day and grew even more certain that it had met its demise. I was afraid to ask them if they had seen their cat recently but after a day I got up the courage. Turns out the cat was fine and they too had seen the fox many times.
I asked Jared, at the other end of the street, if he had seen the fox and of course he had. He told us foxes won’t bother a cat. Maybe a kitten but not a cat.

put that assemblage, exactly as it is, onna wall
When I lived on Pinnacle we had a fox in the woods behind us for awhile. I was worried about the cats and went online to find out if it was a problem. A naturalist in Colorado answered my query in the negative. They really go after small rodents, chipmunks, etc.
Coyotes are another story and they are around here, including in the city.
