just go to next curry night and you will wonder no longer

The photo is perfectly charming and anyone who says otherwise...Roberto...shall feel the sharp end of my clettering stick!

[Louisa]

isn't a fox related to both a dog and a cat? Or am I thinking of a hyena?

Or the EDT most nights..

Both myself and LadyDeliah have posted pics or links to pics on EDF in the past.

But I look a bit different to what I looked like this time last year.

Younger. :)

That is very interesting Louisa and I did not know the answer but a quick Google....

You have to go up several levels on the biological classification to the Order Carnivora to find a common classification for foxes and cats.

Cats are: Order Carnivora, Suborder Feliformia, Superfamily Feloidea, Family Felidae,Subfamily: Felinae, Genus Felis Genera Felis Catus (Domestic Cat)

Foxes are Order Carnivora, Suborder Caniformia, Family Canidae, Genus Vulpes, Genera Vulpes Vulpes (Red Fox)

The cat-like behaviour and physical traits of foxes are due to convergent evolution, in the same way that bats and birds both have wings.

I suppose Dogs and Hounds hunt in Packs and the Fox is a solitary hunter as the cat is.

P.S.

Thank you for the thread. ;-)

Louisa,

the fox is a member of the family canidae, so closer to a dog/wolf, but it is also described as cat-like in some respects, most notably its eyes- slitty pupils for nocturnal hunting, long thin canines with which it can deliver a killer bite, the habit of arching it back and hissing in a defensive display of aggression and its incredible climbing ability. Aside from all that they slink around like cats....

Forgot to add, unlike most cats which are obligate carnivores, foxes are carnivorous by choice but also scavengers, which means they can subsist on a wide range of foods- part of the reason for their immense ability to adapt.

[StraferJack]

You could always try and meet him like I did for the first time

After the birth of your first child and getting kicked out after visiting hours at Kings, order a stiff whiskey in the Bishop, and prepare to contemplate the big moments in life, past present and future

Wait for a stranger to approach and ask "are you SeanMacGabhann, I'm DulwichFox"

I wasn't expecting that to be honest....

Pleasant chat tho...

Woah woah. Hold on right there... you mean you chose to go home (via the pub) rather than spend the night in the ward on the floor/chair...

[StraferJack]

don't think I was allowed at the time?

Might be wrong on that... But it was certainly other halfs preference that I go home as well

[MrBen]

It happens. Mine had all they needed. So I went to Franklins and had a steak and a pint to celebrate.

[DulwichFox]

SJ was well Chuffed.. He just wanted to tell someone and I just happened to be there.

I spent all night in labour and headed to the nearest pub on eventually leaving Kings. Isn't that what you do?

I certainly had a different picture in my head - more grey, for starters.

My hair is naturally black.. I had just come back from two weeks in Turkey in that pic

and my hair was sun bleached blond.

That does make the decision easier. Pub then bed sounds preferable to McDs and the hospital floor.

Goodness Foxy you look younger than when I last saw you!

What is your secret for eternal youth? ;-)

Yep. Child no 1 safely delivered in 2003, a whiskey in the very old Magdela.

Child no 3 in 2009, mother in law babysitting child 1 and 2 and im back at the same bar, now the Magnolia with another whiskey.

I thought I deserved it. Even if no-one else did. It's a new dad thing.
