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. ;-)


Foxy

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.

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...

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

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.

    • Here's the part of march46's linked-to Southwark News article pertaining to Southwark Council. "Southwark Council were also contacted for a response. "Councillor James McAsh, Cabinet Member for Clean Air, Streets & Waste said: “One of Southwark’s key priorities is to create a healthy environment for our residents. “To achieve this we closely monitor legislation and measures that influence air pollution – our entire borough apart from inland waterways is designated as a Smoke Control Area, and we also offer substantial provision for electric vehicles to promote alternative fuel travel options and our Streets for People strategy. “We as a council support the work of Mums for Lungs and recognise the health and environmental impacts of domestic solid fuel burning, particularly from wood-burning appliances. “We are currently updating our Enforcement Policy and changes will allow for the issuing of civil penalties ranging from £175 to £300 for visible smoke emissions, replacing the previous reliance on criminal prosecution.  “This work is being undertaken in collaboration with other London boroughs as part of the pan-London Wood Burning Project, which aims to harmonise enforcement approaches and share best practice across the capital.” ETA: And here's a post I made a few years ago, with tangential relevance.  https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/278140-early-morning-drone-flying/?do=findComment&comment=1493274  
    • The solicitor is also the Executor. Big mistake, but my Aunt was very old, and this was the Covid years and shortly after so impossible to intervene and get a couple of close relatives to do this.  She had no children so this is the nephews and nieces. He is a single practitioner, and most at his age would have long since retired - there is a question over his competence Two letters have already gone essentially complaining - batted off and 'amusingly' one put the blame on us. There are five on our side, all speaking to each other, and ideally would work as a single point of contact.  But he has said that this is not allowed - we've all given approval to act on each others behalf. There are five on her late husband's side, who have not engaged with us despite the suggestion to work as a team, There is one other, who get's the lion's share, the typicical 'friend', but we are long since challenging the will. I would like to put another complaint together that he has not used modern collective communication (I expect that he is incapable) which had seriously delayed the execution of the will.   I know many in their 80s very adept with smart phones so that is not an ageist comment. The house has deteriorated very badly, with cold, damp and a serious leak.  PM me if you want to see the dreadful condition that it is now in. I would also question why if the five of us are happy to work together why all of us need to confirm in writing.             The house was lived in until Feb 23, and has been allowed to get like this.
    • Isn’t a five yearly electricity safety certificate one of the things the landlord must give for a legal tenancy?
    • Very sorry to hear this, but surely the landlord is responsible for fixing the electrics?  Surely they must be insured for things like this? I hope you get it all sorted out quickly.
