“Boundary Walker”

This piece was inspired by an encounter with the fox that lives in our neighbourhood. She comes out at night, and wanders in and out of the gardens.. some evenings we’re lucky enough to see her.

♥ Half of the profits will be donated to Wildlife Aid Foundation, who helps
foxes and rehabilitates them until they are able to survive in the wild
on their own.
This means that in addition to the print you will

My hole, my fish! This is my fish in the hole! What are you doing? The audacity!..
[fox runs off, then returns]
The audacity!! Why are you like this! You can’t be this fuckin shameless! Dude!!
[fox jumps slightly, but doesn’t run off]
Have some decency! Where are you– Who asked– Damn. 
[fox tries to steal the fish again]
The audacity!!! How dare you? Don’t eat. Don’t eat! Don’t eat!! Off! This is my capelin! My fish, I’m telling you! My fish, my hole!
[fox starts digging, the man watches quietly, then laughs]
You’re quite a character. Aight, take, take it.
[fox finally takes the fish]
Good boy. This is for your digging trick. Good job.

Hmm.

Foxes pose little danger to cats, but do sometimes chase them. Generally foxes will back away, knowing they will probably suffer a serious injury in a fight.

And sometimes the chasing goes the other way 😾

But, I wondered if the racket lately might be something like this:

The fox year begins in January, the start of the mating season. At this time of year foxes will travel around the most and can be heard calling for a mate. This barking can be extremely disturbing, however this will only continue until the fox has found a mate.

Yep, that might explain it. Including all the squabbling. This is the loudest I can recall, but there do seem to be more of them living right around us the past few years. Noticing more noise from them at other times, and they’re getting in our trash more often.
