Last year, the local foxes would get into our house through Oscar's cat flap and eat his food, infact I had one encounter where I had to chase one out of the house!
As a result we installed a new cat flap which would only let in the cat whose micro chip was registered to the cat flap - so far, this seems to be working.
However, a new litter of fox cubs (there's about 8 of them last time we counted!!) have emerged from the den at the bottom of our garden and they've been eyeing up the cat flap, Oscar and more importantly his food, I saw one watching me feed Oscar the other day from just outside the window before I knocked on the window and the fox ran away. There has also been lots of fox faeces around the cat flap area.
It's such a shame because I love having the foxes in our garden but to cut a long story short, has anyone got any tips on discouraging them?
