My kitten has a habit of following us to the supermarket which is only 5 minutes walk away. It's annoying but cute as hell and we're usually fine (she's 8 months old btw thought I should clarify) she usually waits in the bushes nearby for us to come out. It's hard to explain but i live on a lakey, wooded area with a retail park nearby.
Today she decided to accompany me while I nipped to get some bits and rather than wrestle her back inside I let her follow me there. Went into the shop, got my stuff, and came out. I started down the path, expecting her to see me and follow but instead I heard a really loud rustling sound and commotion in the bushes. I walked down a bit and under the lamppost light I could see my little baby was tangled up with a fox!! I screamed "
duck OFF FOX" and they kind of broke apart & she came running towards me but the little bastard kept trying to follow us. She wouldn't let me pick her up either and was way too quick. I started clapping loudly and trying to intimidate the fox (imagine a road man person going U wot Bruv and getting in your face type deal)
The amount of rage and anger I felt then. I was ready to beat a fox to death with a bottle of wine in the middle of the path. This must be how parents feel about their children
Edit: She's completely unharmed, the
crappy fox didn't hurt her at all. I'm not sure what they were actually doing but it seemed aggressive. I just dread to think what would've happened if I took longer in the shop
she won't be allowed out at night again.
