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.

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.

      Oh David / Is David Lammy Toast?

      By Sephiroth · Posted

      A lot to agree with here - don’t get me started on Irish people complaining about immigration! - but that final paragraph is once again a cop out  there’s a lot of extreme right wing money stirring up the division that people are feeling - but there is zero excuse for handing power to these people. We live in a democracy and if we have enough people willing to give it up then judging those people foolish enough to do so is not only something that will happen, it is something that the rest of us should be morally compelled to do  if someone wouldn’t “normally” vote for a racist party yet somehow will do so because they hear someone like me saying that would be bad, then you better believe I’m judging them

      Oh David / Is David Lammy Toast?

      The current wave of xenophobia is due to powerful/influential people stirring up hatred.  It;'s what happened in the past, think 1930s Germany.  It seems to be even easier now as so many get their information from social media, whether it is right or wrong.  The media seeking so called balance will bring some nutter on, they don't then bring a nutter on to counteract that. They now seem to turn to Reform at the first opportunity. So your life is 'shite', let;s blame someone else.  Whilst sounding a bit like a Tory, taking some ownership/personal responsibility would be a start.  There are some situations where that may be more challenging, in deindustrialised 'left behind' wasteland we can't all get on our bikes and find work.  But I loathe how it is now popular to blame those of us from relatively modest backgrounds, like me, who did see education and knowledge as a way to self improve. Now we are seen by some as smug liberals......

      Kwik Fit buggered up an A/C leak diagnosis for me (saying there wasn't one, when there was) and sold a regas. The vehicle had to be taken to an A/C specialist for condensor replacement and a further regas. Not impressed.
