Another pro-fox punter here, who hates any animal being demonised ………..and by **** humans of all things ! 😀
And yes, foxes stash food if there is plenty to spare. And no, they can’t carry more than one large chicken at a time. And yes, they will return for the others (which obviously they need to kill to stop them running away) if they are not disturbed.
On the question of cat v fox. One of my cats will, without even a split second hesitation, launch into an intense violent attack at the first sight of a fox. The fox will simply back off as quickly as possible. Mind you, Dennis is built like a brick shithouse……and I’m just grateful he like me 😯
