Do foxes hunt cats?
I disagree to some extent. I agree it’s always best to be safe, but even if this fox is fresh out of the woods it’s going to go for the easiest food it can get, behaving like and eventually becoming an urban fox. If you live close to the woods out there in NH, it might be best for the fox to be put back in its natural environment by animal control, but urban foxes are becoming inevitable and they are proliferating. Urban foxes’ diet almost never includes cats: Fox food and feeding:Foxes are omnivorous, feeding on fruit, birds, small mammals, insects, and other invertebrates, especially earthworms. In rural areas, they may feed primarily on one species, but in urban areas, feeding studies have shown that the most common food for foxes is scavenged items. This category of food includes edible and inedible refuse discarded by humans, as well as food set out for foxes by humans.
