A female fox visits my back yard almost every night and I am always there hoping she will bring her young ones with her.

A couple of nights ago while I was waiting, my cat (Gracie) decided she would get a drink of water out of the bowl where the fox drinks. While Gracie was drinking, the fox arrived at the dog food that I had left for her near the water bowl.

These two photos were made within about three seconds.
Notice the look on Gracie's face in the second photo.

It's a fun picture but I'm always concerned when people feed wild critters. Bears are especially a problem, but anytime you get people feeding wild animals they can go bothering other people for food, and end up getting shot for the misunderstanding.

Great pictures, but you are lucky Gracie is still with you.

Great pictures! But, foxes eat cats. As long as you are feeding her she will probably leave your cat alone. But, always be aware that if there is a shortage of food a fox will always rely on domestic cats that are out. Sorry for the downer.

Good job , but scarey. We had 8 barn cats and thanks to the fox family living in a den in the ditch behind our barn, we now have only one. She hides down iside the wall in the barn when thy come around. The foxes come right into the barn like they live there, but cannot get down in the wall.

To all who posted, especially the ones with concerns.

I appreciate all the responses and I truly appreciate the concerns for Gracie and all wildlife.

About ten years ago, a raccoon clan just showed up on my front porch (I don't have a back porch) and started eating cat food with my cats. To keep the 'coons off the porch, I began feeding them dog food in the back yard near the woods. There were about fourteen of the little rascals. Too many for the porch. Oh yes, another thing; dog food is cheaper than cat food. We also put out corn for the deer.

We have always had foxes on my property and in the surrounding area, so the fox thing isn't new. It's just that
they now have decided to dine with the 'coons. They probably have been doing it for a long time but I just didn't know it. When the fox begins to present a problem for my cats, the fox is a gonner.

My wife and I live next door to the county jail and we allow the inmates to use some of our property to grow a garden.
This is the second year for the garden and they say no damage from wildlife has been found. Reckon we're feeding the critters well?

Nice shots but just be cautious.

I'm not too sure about this one, tk. Look at the size of Gracie-I think the Fox might be the one with the problem! :lol: By the way, Camerahand, these are great captures!

Oh, Gracie looks tuff but I kind of think she doesn't run very fast. Just a suspicion I have.

You are doing a great disservice to the animals and yourself. You are making the animals dependent upon you for food and this is a very dangerous situation. You dont seem to care about your domestic animals and you also dont seem to care about the potential for the spread of disease. You are satisfying your desires without any care for the wild life that is becoming dependent upon you, of course this may be what you want. You also are not taking in to consideration your neighbors who may have animals that could become the next meal for your "cute" friends. You are very selfish and you are going down a truly dangerous road. What will happen when the bears start coming and a neighborhood child is eaten by your "friends"? Wake up and stop this situation before it is too late and something happens. This is not cute, it a real danger to you, the wildlife and your neighbors.

Don't you think that you were kinda HARSH ?
Your point is valid, but you brought it out in a disturbing way. I'm sure people will "bristle" up to your attitude.
