Foxes seem to respect cat claws. Strangely I just found a fox sleeping at the bottom of my garden, my three cats were happily sleeping not far from him. He wasn't much bigger than my cats and I suspect they've taught him some respect, especially Cydric who, although neutered, is very much an alpha male.
Because the fox probably understands it only needs one swipe to the eyes and he's in big trouble. Potentially an ultimately fatal outcome for a wild animal. Not worth the risk.
Cats are amazing...almost superheros. That feline was just cool as cool can be and was like "i will let you do as you want...but you can only come so far and then ""its go time!!"""
LOL I kept thinking don't do it fox don't do it. One swipe of those cat claws and you'll start running. Sure enough he couldn't get out of there quick enough. Cute video.
Hopocrisy is all around. The cat is defending his territory, the same thing you would do if a stranger breaks into your house or its surroundings. Brave kitten.
Pound-for-pound, few animals are as bad ass as a cat. When I was a kid, our female "money" cat (maybe 10 pounds) just had a litter of kittens about 3 weeks prior, and the cat was in our summer room with myself and my dad. Our neighbor's Shepherd mix dog (around 70 lbs) saw that the kittens were outside, and left unattended, so he made a sprint to the kittens (when the dog ran, you could clearly hear the dog tags clanging around its neck). Before my dad or I could open the screen door, the cat ran through the frayed lower corner of the screen, and met the dog as it arrived just in front of her kittens. In a matter of about 5 seconds, without hesitation, all we saw was a buzzsaw of claws on the dog's nose and dirt flying all around (it reminded me of the buzzsaw cat cartoon). The dog didn't know whether to shit or go blind, nose all cut/bloodied, and it ran away yelping like a little bitch. My dad and I just stood there with our mouths open, totally in awe of what we just saw. So when a cat wants to throw down, that's one baaaaad ass animal.
That fox didn't have a chance against that lightening fast cat. Either way, the cat was just trying to scare it away, not seriously hurt it. It worked too.
The fox was just trying to get across. The cat wouldn't move and he was trying to find out how to change paths. The wall he was on was too high for him to jump down, and the space behind the metal piece wouldn't get him where he wanted to go. That being said, these animals are very surprisingly docile. Especially that fox! Kitty let him get really close before he felt like his boundaries got breached.
Fox: hmmm, are you food, or are you not?! Cat: (Oh god, another dumb one risking his life driven by its stomach...) Fox: (strange, it''s not running away, though it looks like food, lemme get closer) Cat: THIS IS CATLAND!!!!! Fox: eeek eeek eeek eeek...
I get the idea that if the fox and cat could have talked to each other the fox would have asked "could i get passed here, please?" and the cat would have said "ok, sure, go ahead" and moved out of the way.
that poor fox, you can tell that he was taking a path familiar to him when he found the way blocked by the cat. The poor thing knew getting close to that cat was a bad idea but tried anyways... lived to regret that decision lol.
All those people saying it's a dog not a fox - 1) it's very definitely a fox, as shown from the fox-like markings, fox-like body shape, fox-like head and fox-like tail. And 2) a fox IS a dog.
Foxes are not dogs. They come from the same family yes (Cani*dae*), t they are not canines, they are not domesticated (genitcally), and they do not have the same dimensions, which you have already described. Please do not confuse the two.
You're right, I have rather sloppily used the term "dog" as a synonym for canids. However... your point about dimensions and domestication is an irrelevance. A chihuahua doesn't have quite the same dimensions as a St Bernard (in case you hadn't noticed), but they're both dogs. Domestication also has nothing to do with whether or not an animal is a dog or not - see African painted (wild) dogs as an example.
I just watched a video of a hawk taking a cat , the cat was holding on to a chain link fence for it's life.... who ever filmed it could of rescued the cat ten times over again but instead filmed until the cat couldn't hold on anymore..... I understand let nature take its course.....but that was somebody's pet!
Free Thinker I remember seeing that video. It was really sad and the fact that the cat could've been someone's companion is even worse. It's nature, yes, but someone could've done something! Nowadays people tend to just want to stand around and record, not knowing that such videos can disturb animal lovers especially those who love cats. I will never forget the time when I was in the fifth grade riding the bus home and as we were leaving the school, there was a cat in the road. Very beautiful, black and white with green eyes, but he was flopping around in the street because part of his face got hit by a car. He kept trying to get up in the traffic but he kept falling on his back. No one stopped or tried to help the poor creature. I was very disturbed and was depressed for a week after seeing that. For me, a ten year old to see that being a huge animal lover, bothered me so much. If I wasn't on the bus I swear I would've probably darted out onto the road and do something to help the cat. I told my parents about it and they just let me cope with it, understanding how terrible I felt about it. The next day when I was going back to school, the poor cat was no longer alive and in bad shape. I hate to describe how the poor creature looked. And the fact that the cat could've most likely been someone's companion is even more bothersome to think about. I hate seeing bad things happening to creatures and humans in general. A girl who went to my middle school died because was crossing the street to her bus stop and she got hit by a van and I had saw her blood spill out onto the road and her mother was there, shrieking in horror. I've seen some messed up stuff that has bothered me in my young lifetime. I also can't stand seeing road kill either.
I began to wonder if that cat was just a cardboard cutout until the fox got within striking distance and then I realized that the cat is expert in the arts of deceit and shadow boxing!
And while everyone's likening the cat and fox to humans, let me tell you a little bit how animals communicate. A lot of mammals communicate more with body gestures than sounds, and the fox was using submissive body language to ask the cat if it could pass. The cat was having none of that shit because the cat doesn't understand fox body language and mistook the fox for a threat. Each species speaks their own language, it's why cats and dogs are notorious for not getting along unless they grew up together.
Bridget M And the interesting thing is if the fox was serious for a fight the cat wouldn't stand a chance. Animals just don't understand their size and strength, and they settle conflicts with a stare off. Ever seen a big dog being sumbissive toward a pocket doggie? Kinda funny how it works.
+hknt Foxes aren't as aggressively-minded as cats, actually, and the cat probably weighed more than the fox. The cat is more dangerous, by experience and impulse.
Cats are extremely territorial creatures. To the point were they don't even allow other cats into their territory without a major hissing battle that can turn violent pretty easily. Don't get me wrong, I love cats. But they can be real assholes sometimes. Foxes on the other hand are surprisingly nice and considerate animals, though they're pretty shy/skittish as well.
JM DAX Cat's can't be bastards, animals can't be bastards, It's territorial, the cat feels threatened and it's natural reaction is to lash out at the bigger animal. Animals can't be nice or nasty, It's programmed into them to think and act like they do.
Everyone has this knee-jerk response that everything out there is a threat to cats: 'Don't leave your cat out if a possum is around. They are aggressive', etc. In truth, cats are near perfect predators who are more than capable of handling themselves. In fact, they are a threat to most animals, not the other way around. True, a house cat shouldn't tangle w/ wild animals ever, since it could get sick from being scratched or bitten, not because the fox, possum or raccoon can kill it outright. Respect felines. They are near perfect killers, so strong, so quick.
JodySchmidt2012 Very true statement. Have 2 that live in my yard and they will kill anything that tries to cross through it. I live right in front of a creek and have seen some of everything from birds to snakes that they dispatched.
JodySchmidt2012 Ever read the Warriors Cats series by Erin Hunter? These books show cat behavior well and it's about feral cats who live in the forest and have to deal with wild creatures like badgers, panthers, foxes, and other cats for their territory and competition. And you're right, cats can handle themselves well in the forest. Feral cats live like that and take care of themselves, although their lives tend to be shorter than housecats. The Warriors books are an insight to show just how feral cats live and survive.
Hugo Laranjo Or strike fear into the heart of a bear, and let's not forget even seeing alligators back to the swamp they've come from. Cats are that awesome.
@@hugolaranjo1745 in the U.K. cats are on the menu fox run amuck there because they're protected and they're hungry they do eat cat's as well as trash and small dog's throughout the cities, they roam in the wee hours of the morning. I could hear them cackling when I was visiting, there's a lot of them!
I'm by no means an expert, but judging from the body shape, and the condition of the coat and the fox's musculature, I'd say it's a young adult, pretty close to full grown. He's done with his last growth spurt and just has a little more size to settle into over the next year or two. It's _not_ a juvenile, as many have said.
Foxes hunt cats. Its only fair that the fox gets a beating, dont wanna know how many kittens this nasty stinking creature has killed over its lifespan. Totally dont understand why people like them so much, probably because they never actually saw a wild one up close. They stink, they host millions of diseases, they breed like crazy and they kill a lot of small and rare species where i live.
You want to know why Foxes hunt domestic cats? Because stupid people fucking declaw them. I've seen videos where cats get eaten by foxes because they can't defend themselves or climb trees. Their claws are essential for their survival. Please don't declaw your cats!!!
That is a very small and young fox who was curious and wanted to play. A fully grown dog-fox (the term for a male, not an actually cross-breed) could easily kill the cat.
No. I've seen plenty of foxes and they don't get much bigger than the one in the video. As for killing a cat, that is extremely doubtful. In addition to the fact that foxes are primarily scavengers and have no interest in them, cats can inflict potentially life-threatening injuries. It's too much of a risk for them.
The G-Man rubbish. What you mean is, you've never seen one bigger. That's not the same as they don't get bigger. I have seen plenty of foxes that ARE bigger than that, one or two of them significantly so.
Talking shit dude. From Wiki: "Male foxes are called reynards, dogs, or tods, and weigh, on average, around 5.9 kilograms (13 lb)" And domestic cats: "Domestic cats are similar in size to the other members of the genus Felis, typically weighing between 4-5 kg (8.8-11.0 lb)." So it would seem that what we see in the video is roughly representative of the relative sizes of foxes and cats.
The G-Man Says the guy who has no clue how to use wikipedia. The article it is citing is this one www.bbc.co.uk/nature/17270249 So next time you say someone is talking shit, work out how little your experience is worth first.
Why are people saying this is just a young and small fox? This is a near fully grown adult urban-dwelling fox. They don't grow much bigger than this. Trust me, there are more foxes on the streets where I live than cats. Maybe in captivity they'd be a little bit bigger and some breeds may be bigger too (though usually it's just longer fur in the winter/cold).
carletouk Maybe. I did say there could be bigger ones (might depend on how well fed they are) and it could also depend on winter fur. I've seen quiet a lot of foxes and cats near each other when I lived in a certain part of London where both were very common. I was surprised at how similarly sized they are in terms of the body that I did not notice when seeing them separately. The fox's head and neck gives it the impression of being bigger than it is. I didn't notice it until the fox and cat were standing near each other.
Jeremy Meneely Why would you expect a fight? Versus means a stand off, which is exactly what you got. If the title had the word 'fight' or 'graphic' I could understand. Cat vs Fox is vague but not misleading.
35 years ago I had a small male cat that was very territorial and would attack any other animal that came near the property. I lived in the country and we had racoon, fox and coyote among other animals. I watch this small cat tear into a wild fox one night and damn near killed it. The fox ran away with chunks of fur missing and not a scratch on my cat. Same for several raccoon that dared to come around. They too had hide missing. My cat was truly nuts and i figured it would soon try to bite off more than it could chew...but no. Years later it died from feline leukemia.
Shame these things are always posted by cat lovers. I would have loved to see the fox knock the cat right of the wall and I'm assuming the only reason it didn't is because he was very young. Bring on the parents!
pfalky2k I love cats, and i do have cats myself. But YOU, good sir, are a nazi. And yes, the fox would have knocked the cat off the wall if the fox werent so young. A smart cat wouldn't fight with a grown up fox.
Your opinion on cats is obvious but don't be mistaken, a bob cat, or large house cat in the wild would easily destroy a fox. Felines are the most vicious predators on earth, they have ten times the strength of a human, three times the strength of a canine and the most complex muscular system of all land mammals. They are both the strongest and most athletic mammals on earth and you assume a fox would just easily kill it. Maybe some smaller domestics since you are talking a feral animal versus a domestic. I lived out in the country when I was a kid and we had several cats out there that would kill foxes, rabbits, and even a found a dead duck once.
The cat seems roghly to have twice the weight of that poor fox but is five times faster. No match for that fox and probably for most foxes around. This cat also knew about its advantage. That's why it stayed calm till the end.
Or the Cat was simply in its path that it usually takes through the neighbourhood. Usually though; Foxes will try to take a cat. That's why I don't think people should declaw cats and let them go outside. That's their only defense or else they're easy prey.
not aggressive. defensive. the cat MUST hold it's territory against all comers. if the cat was aggressive, it would have hunted after the fox. mostly, the two have an uneasy truce. cat knows the fox can take it. fox knows the cat can do damage that, win or lose, will kill the fox not too much later.
did I say a cat weould kill a fox? of course the fox would win. but the fox would risk dying later of an infected cat bite (& the resulting abcess) poisoning it's blood stream & negatively affecting it's ability to hunt. as for delta lou, I hope to all the gods your whores find out ALL about high speed lead & I hope every vermin litter your whores ever shit into the world live for about an hour, or better yet, die in carfires
Izakokomarixyz I grow up in the country and have found more than one dead fox from a barn cat. No a domestic will probably not kill a fox but a hardened outdoor cat that's 15 to 20 pounds will kill most foxes, and against a bobcat the fox doesn't stand a chance.
Animals live in a very different reality than we, even though they share our homes and streets. When they meet, it's territorial and survival of the strongest, and sometimes ends in a fight to the death. To us, this encounter may look casual, but the fox was just a few inches or less from fangs and claws and possibly its death. Canines have one weapon, cats have five, and sometimes an attitude that compensates for being smaller than their opponent. This fox was smart to exit in one piece.

JM DAX Cat's can't be bastards, animals can't be bastards, It's territorial, the cat feels threatened and it's natural reaction is to lash out at the bigger animal. Animals can't be nice or nasty, It's programmed into them to think and act like they do.
Cat all the way! I've also seen Bobcats shoo away Coyotes.
Same.
DAFUQ MAN DON’T YOU •••KING TOUCH MY TAIL B••••
The cat wasn't being aggressive it didn't mind the fox being there... It only reacted when the fox got too near to her/him.
Everyone has this knee-jerk response that everything out there is a threat to cats: 'Don't leave your cat out if a possum is around. They are aggressive', etc. In truth, cats are near perfect predators who are more than capable of handling themselves. In fact, they are a threat to most animals, not the other way around. True, a house cat shouldn't tangle w/ wild animals ever, since it could get sick from being scratched or bitten, not because the fox, possum or raccoon can kill it outright. Respect felines. They are near perfect killers, so strong, so quick.
JodySchmidt2012 Very true statement. Have 2 that live in my yard and they will kill anything that tries to cross through it. I live right in front of a creek and have seen some of everything from birds to snakes that they dispatched.
JodySchmidt2012 Ever read the Warriors Cats series by Erin Hunter? These books show cat behavior well and it's about feral cats who live in the forest and have to deal with wild creatures like badgers, panthers, foxes, and other cats for their territory and competition. And you're right, cats can handle themselves well in the forest. Feral cats live like that and take care of themselves, although their lives tend to be shorter than housecats. The Warriors books are an insight to show just how feral cats live and survive.
100% agree...cats are killing machines...and they are fearless...never underestimate an animal that can kill a snake...
Hugo Laranjo Or strike fear into the heart of a bear, and let's not forget even seeing alligators back to the swamp they've come from. Cats are that awesome.
@@hugolaranjo1745 in the U.K. cats are on the menu fox run amuck there because they're protected and they're hungry they do eat cat's as well as trash and small dog's throughout the
cities, they roam in the wee hours of the morning. I could hear them cackling when I was visiting, there's a lot of them!
I'm by no means an expert, but judging from the body shape, and the condition of the coat and the fox's musculature, I'd say it's a young adult, pretty close to full grown. He's done with his last growth spurt and just has a little more size to settle into over the next year or two. It's _not_ a juvenile, as many have said.
Agreed. Many are saying he is young and small. Clearly they don't know much about foxes.

Well captured.
The cat is like, "Don't you DARE call me domesticated!"
Cat are BOSSES

cats a pure savage
Foxes hunt cats. Its only fair that the fox gets a beating, dont wanna know how many kittens this nasty stinking creature has killed over its lifespan. Totally dont understand why people like them so much, probably because they never actually saw a wild one up close. They stink, they host millions of diseases, they breed like crazy and they kill a lot of small and rare species where i live.
You want to know why Foxes hunt domestic cats? Because stupid people fucking declaw them. I've seen videos where cats get eaten by foxes because they can't defend themselves or climb trees. Their claws are essential for their survival. Please don't declaw your cats!!!

Ive never seen a declawed cat im my life, i think its even illegal where i live.
Cofay Mc und Cs:go It's not illegal in the US. And I am sure you have not checked every single house cat lol.
Jose F
Well if its a house cat it wont have any problems with predators will it...
I can't help but feel like cats must fall in love with the first fox they meet..
That cat said "if you pass this stick then imma beat yo ass" lol
lol, I know right?
That is a very small and young fox who was curious and wanted to play. A fully grown dog-fox (the term for a male, not an actually cross-breed) could easily kill the cat.
No. I've seen plenty of foxes and they don't get much bigger than the one in the video. As for killing a cat, that is extremely doubtful. In addition to the fact that foxes are primarily scavengers and have no interest in them, cats can inflict potentially life-threatening injuries. It's too much of a risk for them.
The G-Man rubbish. What you mean is, you've never seen one bigger. That's not the same as they don't get bigger. I have seen plenty of foxes that ARE bigger than that, one or two of them significantly so.
Talking shit dude. From Wiki:
"Male foxes are called reynards, dogs, or tods, and weigh, on average, around 5.9 kilograms (13 lb)"
And domestic cats:
"Domestic cats are similar in size to the other members of the genus Felis, typically weighing between 4-5 kg (8.8-11.0 lb)."
So it would seem that what we see in the video is roughly representative of the relative sizes of foxes and cats.
The G-Man Says the guy who has no clue how to use wikipedia.
The article it is citing is this one
www.bbc.co.uk/nature/17270249
So next time you say someone is talking shit, work out how little your experience is worth first.
TheBaconWizard Shit comeback.
Why are people saying this is just a young and small fox? This is a near fully grown adult urban-dwelling fox. They don't grow much bigger than this. Trust me, there are more foxes on the streets where I live than cats. Maybe in captivity they'd be a little bit bigger and some breeds may be bigger too (though usually it's just longer fur in the winter/cold).
Yeah I live in the forest and fox are pretty much full grown there
I'm sorry but I've seen urban fixes way bigger than that. He was barely bigger than the cat ffs
carletouk
Maybe. I did say there could be bigger ones (might depend on how well fed they are) and it could also depend on winter fur.
I've seen quiet a lot of foxes and cats near each other when I lived in a certain part of London where both were very common. I was surprised at how similarly sized they are in terms of the body that I did not notice when seeing them separately. The fox's head and neck gives it the impression of being bigger than it is. I didn't notice it until the fox and cat were standing near each other.
The Loose Spark foxes where I stay are a lot bigger and heavier than this one
The Loose Spark they’re dumbasses, Cats fuck foxes
This is why you leave claws on your cat if he or she goes outside
Very skilled
Such power
Wow
What's with the dislikes? Nothing happened to either of them so what the hell are people whining about?
Because people are really really stupid..
+SoulClanWarrior The fact that nothing happened to them. We came here to see brutal fighting! Mortal combat! Smash bros!!! Star fox!!!!
Jeremy Meneely
Why would you expect a fight? Versus means a stand off, which is exactly what you got.
If the title had the word 'fight' or 'graphic' I could understand. Cat vs Fox is vague but not misleading.
Some misguided "people" just HATE cats....
That's why there are dislikes,nothing happened!!!!

Rashad thx :D
Fuck this in done now ride that horse
This is the epitome of "fuck around and find out" 😂
35 years ago I had a small male cat that was very territorial and would attack any other animal that came near the property. I lived in the country and we had racoon, fox and coyote among other animals. I watch this small cat tear into a wild fox one night and damn near killed it. The fox ran away with chunks of fur missing and not a scratch on my cat. Same for several raccoon that dared to come around. They too had hide missing. My cat was truly nuts and i figured it would soon try to bite off more than it could chew...but no. Years later it died from feline leukemia.
Ofcourse its a fox, its a very young one.
If that;s a young fox, it's big for it's size.
Shao Cat VS Sonya Fox FIGHT!!!
That's why cats demand respect... they don't play around. That cat never moved.... it just stared the fox down until it was time to strike.
That fox is like I AM NOT GETTING CLOSE TO YOU.
Cat lashes at fox; fox runs away.
Cat lashes at coyote; coyote has cat for lunch.
lion eats coyote for appetizer.
ntwa dumela The lion and coyote haven't shared the same range in 11,000 years. LOL
BloodofPatriots we could arrange a meeting between the 2 once again :}
ntwa dumela What is this? Cat people versus dog people?
T0mat0S0up
My kitten used to beat up the Neighbors Dogs for fun. Now the Dogs always run. And those were big, scary Danes.
What the fox
Cat to fox: I have 18 folding knives I’d like you to get acquainted with
The best left and right hooks you’ll ever see
Triple jab & straight rights to the body!
I hope the fox didn't get hurt
I would pray for the cat
+King Cloud I wouldn't. the cat was being a jerk.
i was saing that because that fox could wip that cat
mabye
+Martyn AB wow
Shame these things are always posted by cat lovers. I would have loved to see the fox knock the cat right of the wall and I'm assuming the only reason it didn't is because he was very young. Bring on the parents!
pfalky2k I love cats, and i do have cats myself. But YOU, good sir, are a nazi.
And yes, the fox would have knocked the cat off the wall if the fox werent so young. A smart cat wouldn't fight with a grown up fox.
Seems to me you are the one making it into a "cat vs dog" video.
Your opinion on cats is obvious but don't be mistaken, a bob cat, or large house cat in the wild would easily destroy a fox. Felines are the most vicious predators on earth, they have ten times the strength of a human, three times the strength of a canine and the most complex muscular system of all land mammals. They are both the strongest and most athletic mammals on earth and you assume a fox would just easily kill it. Maybe some smaller domestics since you are talking a feral animal versus a domestic. I lived out in the country when I was a kid and we had several cats out there that would kill foxes, rabbits, and even a found a dead duck once.
pfalky2k Cats are spaw of satan. Dogs are gifts from God.
Neo Matrix
Dogs are humanmade, so gift from god can't be right.
At the end the cat looks very pleased... LOL
I know right?
Cat: NONE SHALL PASS! Fox: Ok ok dude I'm going...
To me, it looked like the fox wanted to take the cat and eat it, but it was too young to really know what, or how to it yet. Just my opinion.
The cat seems roghly to have twice the weight of that poor fox but is five times faster. No match for that fox and probably for most foxes around. This cat also knew about its advantage. That's why it stayed calm till the end.
The fox was just trying to get _past_ the cat. That's why it kept looking for a way down as well.
Sue Pete that's right ,if the cat show fear ,the fox might have tried to kill him
Or the Cat was simply in its path that it usually takes through the neighbourhood.
Usually though; Foxes will try to take a cat. That's why I don't think people should declaw cats and let them go outside. That's their only defense or else they're easy prey.
The stupid cat in his way...
Love the self confidence by the cat.
3 mins. Of my life will Never back
what? lmao XD
Except for a few seconds in the last half minute, this is utterly boring!
I hate cats, they are so aggressive :/
not aggressive. defensive. the cat MUST hold it's territory against all comers. if the cat was aggressive, it would have hunted after the fox. mostly, the two have an uneasy truce. cat knows the fox can take it. fox knows the cat can do damage that, win or lose, will kill the fox not too much later.
pfalky2k LOL a cat will not kill a fox... A cat would have been a goner if the fox decided to stay and fight.
how about pitbulls and other dogs?
did I say a cat weould kill a fox? of course the fox would win. but the fox would risk dying later of an infected cat bite (& the resulting abcess) poisoning it's blood stream & negatively affecting it's ability to hunt. as for delta lou, I hope to all the gods your whores find out ALL about high speed lead & I hope every vermin litter your whores ever shit into the world live for about an hour, or better yet, die in carfires
Izakokomarixyz I grow up in the country and have found more than one dead fox from a barn cat. No a domestic will probably not kill a fox but a hardened outdoor cat that's 15 to 20 pounds will kill most foxes, and against a bobcat the fox doesn't stand a chance.
That was no fox! That was a fun! Nice video...
🗣Punk ass Fox!😂😂😂 Go cat 🐈
You hear the plane coming in, I also hear the background music in my head .. it's the standoff in the epic final scene of Heat
Animals live in a very different reality than we, even though they share our homes and streets. When they meet, it's territorial and survival of the strongest, and sometimes ends in a fight to the death. To us, this encounter may look casual, but the fox was just a few inches or less from fangs and claws and possibly its death. Canines have one weapon, cats have five, and sometimes an attitude that compensates for being smaller than their opponent. This fox was smart to exit in one piece.
The fox knew what he was doing. Getting closer and closer at every point nearer to the cat. Ah nature :)
Looking at the Fox explore his options had me lmao!!
This cat just keeps staring at the fox lmao
I know right? What a boss he was
