My cat from Hell now has given me something new to worry about.
I have posted about Benny in other groups especially his penchant in the past to give me blood bites that have sent me to the hospital for penicillin in the past. He's fourteen and a very dominant male. He was neutered at four months because of his aggressiveness, the vet hoping it would help. It didn't. He's indoor and outdoor because I really can't keep him in without being attacked. The vet basically told me to let him have his way or suffer the consequences. He and his staff don the equivalent of hazmat suits when they see us coming. We were quarantined for rabies this year because the ER reported the bite I came for treatment and stitches to the authorities even though he had just had his rabies shots.
Okay, the good Benny is affectionate and playful even at his age. He's very clean even expecting the nuggets from his litter box to be scooped right away or he howls until I do. I guess he doesn't like the smell anymore than I do. He never sticks his nose in my food and is a very friendly purr-er. He hates other cats, but likes dogs wherein my problem comes in. One of my neighbors came by to tell me how cute my kitty was playing with a half-grown wild fox kit in a field across the road.
I really questioned if it was a fox and not a puppy. It was a fox all right. We do have them around here along with coyotes and other predators. They are very reclusive though and I have probably seen an adult fox twice in the fifteen years I have lived here. I really don't know what to do about this. I know he has a healthy fear of coyotes and even deer, but I don't know if I approve of his new playmate, especially if his parents are lurking near by. Anybody have any ideas? I really don't know what to do about this. I can't keep him in when he wants to go out.
