msfledermausThe new fox in the neighborhood is causing quite a stir. People have seen him sleeping under the extra tent-poles to the neighbor's teepee. He's been popping up on people's porches, looking in the doors. And last night he cornered a neighbor's cat at 1pm last night. My neighbors Phil and Karen came down quick, and drove Reynard off, bringing the terrified kitty up to their apartment. For hours Reynard circled the house, looking for a way to get at the cat.
My e-mail list has been on fire, with people warning each other to keep their pets in. I know for sure the Littlest Orca will be staying indoors--I mean, he does anyway, but sometimes I take him out and put him in a rabbit-playpen to eat grass and romp while I hang out with him. But since Reynard here seems to have no problem coming up to houses in broad daylight, I think I'd be taking a serious risk with something like that. Especially with a cute, tame fuzzy little dumpling like Shamu.
And just in case Reynard is sick or something, I have pepper spray. Won't kill him, but it'll give him something to think about. I kind of wonder if he might be--he's way too comfortable being close to people. But he seems big and strong; maybe he was a rescue or something? I have no idea...
