I think these animals know each other, not actually great friends, but tolerant.
Indeed, they are fears and not to be prey to each other. Neither are an easy meal !
I have foxes and skunks visit my cats and have done so for generations. They even come in through the cat doors to raid the cats' food. Never once has there been a problem. My cats played with fox kits and baby skunks when they were kittens.
Wow amazing. They did not seem to mind each other. ❤
Foxes are just dog hardware running cat software. At the SaveAFox animal rescue, they have rescue cats living with rescue foxes.
Urban foxes live in a world full of cats, they both learn to get on.
That little sweetie of a cat knows her own worth! Not going to push her out of her own territory, for sure! The fox is no dummy, knows that getting along means getting fed. Take some, eat it, get more. Lovely. And your photography is awesome as usual. I also suspect that you were able to prep the fox for appropriate behaviour just with the whole process of getting it accustomed to being fed at that location. Bravo! 🇨🇦💕
that fox was just about to attack and kill that cat when the film stopped, how convenient
@@ianarmstrong9594 where on earth did you get that idea? Read all the comments, not just one or two.
@@lynnjasen9727 so you admit you do not care about the cat....well I do care
@@ianarmstrong9594 more that I know the channel and am certain the creator wouldn’t post this if you were right.
@@lynnjasen9727 maybe he enjoys pulling the wool over the eyes of people like you
🇮🇪 brilliant sharing very good very breve cat 🐈 eating beside the fox 🦊
Awesome encounters, and hilarious, especially with the music! That is one sure-footed, confident cat. Thank you!🎶
The music reminds me of the Sergio Leone Spagetti Westerns . Cool cats seem to get along with the foxes . Dogs would not. Dogs get easily spooked in such an encounter and would bark all night ruining our sleep but then again dogs are tugged up in the baskets too , unless they are outdoor guard dogs and then you would never hear the end of it.
Such a beautiful and gorgeous cat and very soft and pretty and he or she is mighty cute and full of love and sweet cuddles 🥰
Fun how a fox understands personal boundaries better than most people. XD
or it thinks it is stealing.
Fox: Mouth full of razor-sharp teeth.
Cat: Mouth full of razor-sharp teeth, four lightning-fast paws with razor sharp claws.
Fox: "I'm not an idiot."
@@ryanbenbow-zx2sd read it again. he was quoting the fox.
@@ryanbenbow-zx2sd You should want to re-read it because you did not understand it correctly the first time, and you are embarrassing yourself.
@@ryanbenbow-zx2sd only a little bit though, cuz u were being nice. It’s ok to be wrong about being nice. I wasn’t wanting to seem harsh, it just came out wrong.
😁🤙
There's an old idiom about foxes guarding the henhouse (chicken coop), now there's a new alternative: cats guarding the chicken wings. Poor Whitespot! She''s so shy, and seems fearful of being swatted on the nose.
We had a big Siamese cat growing up, and he would not have tolerated the fox. And he would not have left HIS meal.
Tao owned our neighborhood! Even the police k-nine German Sheppard was fearful of him...and had paid the price for getting too close. Afterwards, Tao was awarded an honorary K-nine police cat plaque! Miss him still after forty years. We were both 23 when he passed.
Cats are the best
Do they live that long ?
Tao sounds like a good boy that was probably a Tomcat !
Amazing Vidéo Thank you 😀 👍👏👏👏
Those foxes at the end were clever. I was surprised when the fox was able to grab two pieces and run off. And the last encounter, the fox just waited 'til the cat left on her own terms and even seemed surprised. 🦊
The domestic cat and fox rarely have full on fights...both prefer something easier...
Bonjour 🐕 . Un grand merci pour vos merveilleuses vidéos avec fond sonore formidable .je ne me lasse pas de regarder l'histoire de ce magnifique Renard qui aime bien le Poulet. Toutes mes Amitiés 🐕 💓 💗 🐕
By the way, I enjoyed your choice of music. When you have a fight between two chicken wing slingers, American western music for gunslingers is the perfect choice.
Makes me think of a Clint Eastwood Western. As a cat of course :)
It was beautiful! The aristocrat cat and the beggar fox.
If only humans could behave as amicably - with their fellow humans.
P sure it's not exactly unusual for foxes to summarily try and kill off the competition ya know, which cats certainly are (specifically in the "murdering little undergrowth critters" bracket). Just needs more of a size advantage than the young vixen here has for the risk-benefit ratio to work out.
Which isn't too different from how humans pick their intraspecies fights. We erely have a lot more complexity in it.
What, sneaking up on others, trying to bite them, staring them down, pretending your not looking so you can turn on them when they look away, skulking off whenever the encounter doesn't get you what you want?
Awesome video! I love red foxes and domestic cats!
Typical cat behaviour: I want it, I don't want it. The Fox is like, I'll take two. Then comes back for two more. The cat is still thinking about maybe eating something.
That's because the cat knows it's not going to go hungry if the fox takes it all, it's being fed every day by the owner.
Excellent compilation.
The fox be like: 'Mm, you sure you don't want those wings? Should I help myself?'
The cat: 'Whatever dude, just don't bother me with your presence anymore...'
Great video footage!! 👍
Absolutely beautiful, i so enjoyed watching this.
My cat and her kittens used to lie down in the road to sunbathe, cuddled up to a Fox and her cubs. They were entirely friendly with each other. Sweet, but they got a bad dose of fleas.
Beautiful! ❤️🦊
The music was PUUrfect!
Your job is funtastic❤
What a wonderful video .The fox is in amazing condition (thanks to you?) Cats will get food but a fox has to be cautious and it's a joy to watch .Great work.They shared :) Many thanks and greetings :from Berlin .👍🦊🐱
Foxes will avoid trouble if they can, they want the food and to be on their way.
CAT:"You want some of that?"
CAT:"Go ahead its fine."
FOX:"You sure?"
CAT:"Yes"
FOX:"Your sure your not mad?"
CAT:"Nope"
Great video and great music.....🙂
Wonderful video. Thank you so much. Greetings from Sri Lanka and love from Ruth.
Omg, your camera is amazing.
Thank you 🙏🙋🍀
Protect your cat!
Absolutely no need - it's not in danger and anyway it can look after itself.
beautiful x
Love the fox
Clever fox taking food and run!
I had a grey and white forest cat who used to keep my yard free of coyotes, the few that challenged her learned to regret their decision. Coyotes and bigger but not nearly as fast and can easily lose an eye if they are not fast enough
I don't think most people know about that advantage cats have. Their reflexes are insane, its how they catch sparrows with one paw. It looks accidental because we can't process the speed correctly.
@@oaxacachaka There are videos showing how cats are equally as fast as snakes, and can avoid their strikes. The fact that cats evolved in the desert on the same landscape as snakes is why they evolved to be so fast.
3:40 Fox: mmm a tasty chicken, tasty chicken!..
Wait... A tasty cat!..
Very nice
That’s a big, well fed Fox. Like a smallish coyote.
By the end the Fox seemed as interested in the cat as the wings!
0:49 That's the Firefox logo!!
Lol the poor kitty dropped its chicken 😾
Music is the original national anthem country of Algeria 🇩🇿🇩🇿🇩🇿
Honestly, I'm impressed with this fox, most things are more scared of cat's
The music and this video go together like oil and water.
Ahhhh the fox just wanted a friend.
Cats are so badass. I always thought a fox would easily kill a cat but it seems far from the case.
Yep, it wouldn't even try - cats are way out of a fox's prey range.
The fox don't want those raw chicken wing's.
Parabéns feliz 👏👏 casa 🏠🏠 parece cama sono gata
Sofá gata
Deus te abençoe
The cat has a full belly and couldn’t care less about the chicken wings….
The fox actually needs the chicken wings for sustenance.
This is a set up situation just to see if there would be a confrontation.
Cats rule! Enjoy the chicken, I’ll just go back in the house for another can of fancy feast…..😁
Hi Steve, I'm a new subscriber and I love the videos! QUESTION: What do you recommend feeding a fox? I put dry dogfood in a bowl, and sometimes the end piece of a loaf of bread or a raw, cheap hot dog. It works, I all most have the fox eating out of my hand! But I want to give the fox a good treat. What works the best? Thanks in advance, Dan from Wisconsin U.S.A.
Hi Dan. My foxes mostly eat raw chicken wings, and, if I want to keep them in one place for filming or need to administer medication, cooked chicken legs or thighs with the bones removed. They also have raw sausages, moist dog chunks, canned cat food, eggs, and sandwiches made from the chicken fat from cooking. I get through about 50 kg ( 110 pounds ) of chicken every month feeding my foxes. Regards, Steve
@@stevedownerfilms Thank you Steve!!!!
Thank you so much for taking care foxes. God bless you, lol xxx
@@dandaniels8897 Do note the very important difference between cooked and raw bones. Raw bones still in the meat are fine, as they will wear down or break into small, easily swallowed pieces. Cooked bones, on the other hand, splinter and can be deadly.
Never feed cooked bones to an animal.
Cats and foxes kind of co-exist with a few swipes and growls. It's dogs you have to worry about.
You're right - but it depends on the dog. Foxes and dogs sometimes "make friends" and play together, especially when they are both young - but foxes know which dogs to avoid; since foxes are mostly nocturnal and dogs diurnal, they don't bump into each other that much; but urban foxes and cats share the same space at the same time and they usually ignore each other, sometimes they even get along.
I would think the fox has it all over the cat for speed, agility, and fierceness.
You would be wrong on all three. But it's pretty academic because they are not there for a fight, as you can clearly see.
@@adolforodolfo6929 "I would think..." Note the hypothesis.... You are probably right, I would think.....
@@StevenTorrey 😁A less flippant answer:
Speed - It's close and down to individuals, but a fox's top speed is probably a little bit faster - but the cat has better acceleration and faster reactions.
Agility - it's a no contest, cat is significantly more agile.
Fierceness - again, the cat comes out on top here. Foxes aren't very fierce at all; they are really timid. An adult cat is way too much for them to handle, and they won't even try. If the cat in this video showed any aggression, the fox would run - but it doesn't, nor does the fox, they have probably met like this many times before.
I'm pretty convinced it does, but because they rarely if ever fight, most are convinced cats are better. Appears most people feed foxes out of love for them and also to avoid conflicts between the two. Cats just aren't on a fox's menu. If they were people probably wouldn't talk so confidently.
cat had plenty of food. he didn't care
Farmers/huntsmen-women alarm the public with so much propaganda regarding foxes, most of which is false. I was so fortunate to grow up in a house which had a huge garden for the wildlife my now late mum loved and throughout my life we had generation after generation after generation of foxes which lived in their den at the very bottom of the garden behind the shed. We also always had cats and dogs. Mum's favourite pasttime was watching the wildlife in her garden, she'd often watch the foxes playing every night in the garden - sometimes with the cats. Never once did they engage in the 'cat killing' behaviour people have been indoctrinated with. Each year a vixen would have her cubs, we'd watch those cubs grow up.. many of them were downright delinquents who loved nothing more than grabbing the fountain hose from the water feature and running around the garden with it spraying everything in sight which would have us in hysterics watching through the French doors which led onto the garden patio. Very happy memories.
I loved watching this video compilation. Great footage.
I had an orange tabby cat, he would have not let that fox take his food.
Calico girl is brave
Just goes to show that lie that foxes attack cats. I have three cats and they and two foxes share the garden and sitting side by side while I feed the foxes. Thanks for looking after them
chickens watching this: so this is the purpose of my life...
Fox 🦊: Hello Kitty! I've got cat 🐈 software in dog 🐕 Hardware
I regularly get the foxes in the garden. I feed them scrap meats bones and fresh chicken. They are now regular visitors every night. Got any tips on what other oods they like?
If a badger turned up the cat and fox would leg it away. Badges are hard nuts and foxs avoid them if they can
Badgers and foxes tolerate each other most of the time - but you're right, badgers are heavier, more powerful than foxes and they have claws, so most adult foxes know not to tangle with them.
Cats well fed and in full defensive mode are more than a match for the average, somewhat emaciated fox.
Cats and foxes generally just walk past each other. No antagonism.
That's my Cat!!!!
He is getting used to the house,they know he is not a threat
Looks like Whitespot and the three colored cat could get friends over time. They both stood their ground without having any disrespect for the other.
OH the fox would dine on a cat that let it's guard down too much or one that is not fully grown. Leave foxes in the wild please.
@@tomsherwood4650 No, it wouldn't - you clearly know nothing about foxes and not a lot about cats. This fox IS in the wild, but its habitat is urban and its lifestyle is adapted to it - including eating human handouts.
The cat was so full, it it just couldn't be bothered to make a fuss about the food.
this episode reminds me of the kid's game red light green light.
Why not, its fun
என் வாழ்நாள் இரண்டு முறை வைகை கரையில் குள்ளநரியை நேருக்கு நேர் காலைப்பொழுதில் சந்தித்திருக்கிறேன்...
Saw a huge fox in my garden once, was twice the size of this fox maybe 3 times idk how it got that big
That looked like chicken wings
Those are some healthy well kept animals.
🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Totally irresposible to leave that food outside.
Least the fox isn’t eating the cats..
The fox must not have a den full of kits or it would have taken all the chicken...and the cat too.
2:10 Did the fox just bark and made two cartoon mouth grab sounds or were they just sound effects?
The fox did bark.
sweet calico nyaa
Next a coyote shows up and goodbye cat
лиса коту :є альо не попутал🤣🤣🤣🤣
I like more cats.
Looks like they ste friends
Old friends
From an encounter with a sleek fox on a nightly mission to eat a huge plate of left food, those cats will have got a very misleading impression of the amount of danger they will be in if a _hungry_ specimen claps eyes on them.
I agree. But cats aren't really on a fox's menu. Foxes eat a wide variety of foods though. Really almost anything far as I can tell.
I was wondering what those things are then I finally figured it out chicken wings.
What are you feeding the foxes with? Is it chicken?
Looks like English breakfast sausages in their skin😂
Chicken wings are $4 a pound now around here.
Ket vs dog 🐺🐈
I have seen my own cats and a stray red fox totally ignore each other once or twice. However, Fox, especially grays are known to eat cats and usually will win a fight with a house can by sheer mass.
Not sure where you're getting your information from. Foxes aren't much bigger than cats - especially vixens that often weigh less than domestic tom cats; pound for pound, cats are stronger than foxes, are more agile, have quicker reactions and, important, have sharp claws. Foxes don't fight with cats if they can help it and, should they do so, its much more likely that the fox gets hurt than the cat. What you're seeing in this video is absolutely normal for urban fox/cat meetings, they happen all the time.
@@adolforodolfo6929 The grey Fox around here are usually 2 or 3 times the size of a cat.
@@kenibnanak5554 I'll take your word for it. We don't have grey foxes in the UK, just red ones, like the ones in this video. They are usually a bit bigger than cats, but not much, especially by weight, and they are not at all fierce.
@@adolforodolfo6929 The gray fox species I speak of is also called Urocyon Cinereoargenteu They usually live in burrows, but they can also climb trees to get their prey. I have seen specimens that weighed more than 20 pounds.
@@kenibnanak5554 Thanks; looked them up. Yes, some individuals can go 20 pounds. That's the same for our red foxes, big males can weigh over 20 pounds, but typically they weigh less than that, especially the females that typically weigh no more than 10 pounds. They pretty much have the same size/weight range as your gray ones - the just aren't very fierce.
I actually have never understood why people buy cats for their houses and leave them outside. I would never let my cat run the street just for this purpose of not being able to come back home With everything that's out there or even worse getting rabies from another animal that's outside. Stupidity 101 to leave your cats outside Or any animal for that matter That you take into your home
I've seen much larger male cats that wouldn't put up with that fox -
they would beat it up.
Giving chicken parts with bones can be deadly to cats and other animals, as bone spears can get caught in their throats!
raw bones are ok on animals that would eat small/med sized birds/fowl in the wild.Never feed cooked bones.
You're absolutely right there.
It's fine if the meat is raw - because the bones don't splinter. The foxes will eat the bones, same as dog would, and they are actually good for them.
Who's throwing chicken wings outside?
The cameraperson to feed the fox.The cats look like they are fed already otherwise they would be more defensive of the food.
I think if there will not eat to give at profusion, it's possible that the cats finish eaten by the fox, be careful they look too smart for can give confidence at 100 % ^^
No, it's not possible - you're right, foxes are smart, too smart to think about hunting cats. Foxes are not aggressive animals, they are in fact pretty timid. Sure, they kill to eat (mostly mice, voles and rats), but the rest of the time they certainly don't go looking for trouble. And most urban foxes hardly even kill to eat - they get just about all of their food from human hand-outs.
