That is an anomaly.
I went to investigate which cat, and why they were hissing, when something caught my eye through the glass of the patio door. About 10 feet from my deck there was a fox happily trotting up into our woods from the front yard.
It was huge too. Not the scrawny little things I've seen over the years living in northern Minnesota or the Midwest, or on the cross country drives we make. This one was large, healthy, had a thick tail and was walking around like he owned our land - not hiding in the weeds and skunking down like most sneaky fox. Just happily going about his business as he did not know a human was in the vicinity.
And as soon as I said, "Oh my gosh, there is a fox in my backyard."There was another one!
Two. Two healthy, huge fox were trotting through my yard and into the woods that begin about 20 feet from my back door.
Just in case it might be a parade of fox today, I ran to grab my camera, but alas... I only saw the two. The parade was over.
That reminds me of the time I saw the black bear cub walk through our yard soon after we moved into our house in the Upper Peninsula. Thankfully, it was the only one we ever saw.
