Foxes
I woke up at 4am this morning because of noises from the garden. Looked out and there were 6 foxes all running about playing and banging into the compost bin. I'd had enough so I wee'd into a jug and went out and poured it all across the garden.
It only worked! After about 3 or 4 minutes one of the adults and 2 cubs came back and had a sniff round. I'd poured it in a line right across the garden and they sniffed up and down the line for a couple of minutes but didn't cross it. Then they just went off. I was amazed. Disgusted, but amazed all the same.
Today I need to get some new shears and go out and tackle some of the overgrown stuff that might be shielding them. I wanted to empty out the compost bin as they've dug under it but when i removed it yesterday, to my horror, sat atop was a big disgusting old toad. I'd rather deal with the foxes than that so I quickly dropped the bin back down and scarpered.
Need to get onto the housing association on Monday about fixed the hole in the wall too as they've been using that to come and go.
I don't hate the foxes it's just that it's making Smokey and Alfie nervous having them there and I'm having to contend with Alfie going to the toilet in the house again and Smokey disappearing for days. I really don't want any harm to either my cats or the foxes, it's just that we were here first so someone's got to go and it aint gonna be me.
