Now I know you are all going to think i'm am completley nuts but this is 100% truth I promise (I do have a photo to prove it).
I had real problems a few months back (last time Ellie was in season) with a local fox who suddenly became completely obsesed with my fron garden and car. I was so concerned as I have 2 cats, 2 dogs and a young son and I caught the fox staring in the open front door and trying to get into the back seat of my car (I was moving boxes from the car to the house and everytime I turned there he was!). I kept the cats in from mid afternoon till mid morning for the next week or 2 and the dogs supervised in the rear garden, they are not small dogs but he had no fear of them (and very little of me) at all. Anyway her season went and so did he, possibly a coincidence???
Well I was just thinking the other night Ellie is just about due in season (showing no signs yet tho). When I left for work this morning the fox was about and so was one of my cats (how will try and see the fox off, I have seen him try in the past) so chased the fox and put the cat in the house and though nothing else of it. But, I have just gone to lock the front door and noticed something move at the back of my car, on closer inspection its the fox. Shouted my boyfriend to look as it was standing with its front feet on the back bumper sniffing the boot (Ellie was at work with me today and travelled in the boot). By the time I went back to the window he was on the roof of my estate sniffing the top of the boot door. I couldnt believe my eyes so caught a pic on the camera (v blurry cos of lack of light but you can tell what it is).
Has anyone else ever had problems like this or has any suggestions how to deter him? I've never had trouble like this before and Ellie has had seasons before without problems as did my previous bitch.
