Dad called to Mom —“Your cat is clear out in the alfalfa field.”
Mom went to look and exclaimed, “That isn’t TLC Cai-Cai! That is a FOX!”
“What!?” Dad jumped up out of his chair and went to the door with Mom. “Yes, it is! A FOX!”
“I think I had better really keep an eye on the chickens. Must be a ‘new to the farm’ fox and is looking for personal territory.” Mom replied.
Now while all this was going on, Boo Berry Betty and I could have TOLD Mom and Dad about the fox, because —well, after all—we already knew.
There are smells.
And footprints.
And sometimes poop is left for us to know that FOX is here.
Mom thought it would be kinda neat to put up a trail camera to see where the Fox might be hanging out. She picked the garden spot, because, she said, I, yours truly, TLC Cai-Cai, have been acting rather jumpy whenever I am in the garden spot.
Yep! Like I said I could have told her, but she doesn’t really understand my language.
FOX! Fox in the yard! Eventually, the fox will move on, but for now, everyone, except those rather dumb birds called chickens, is on high alert!

Life on a Colorado Farm 
Humans like me are ridiculous. The feral cat I’ve been wooing with cheese in order to get her spayed decided to move on yesterday, leaving me nothing but a mess to clean up and yet another clinic appointment to cancel. She’s far too smart for me.

Lulu: “Hmm, well, I’ve heard a fox is like a dog if a dog were a cat, so I guess I can see where your humans might think it was a cat out there, since they rely on their eyes instead of their noses, which are much more reliable.”

Yikes! There was a fox on the hill by our apartment. Mom told our neighbor she saw a dog with no leash on the hill. He went to look and said, “Nope. Not a dog. A fox!” We went the other way. Be careful out there, CC.
Love and licks,
