Badgers

[forest of dean redneck 11,686]

When I was younger was told only way a cat could escape a fox was up a tree that didn't have any low branches,cat could shimmy up the trunk with its claws but fox couldn't but fox can climb up tree with low branches,

Now I can't see a fox climbing a tree to kill a cat,but on ground yes.

Also when you think some cats stand their ground to dogs but then one day they meet a different dog an there goes their nine lives.

Here is the pair from my garden, they would sit and wait for each other and come back two or three times a night the cat never shifted for the fox but he would move off for the cat this went on every night throughout the summer last year

I had a cat get in a fight with a badger once. Tough old bugger saw it off but was in a right old state half it's face peeled off a broken front leg and loads of nasty wounds that got badly infected. He survived though and lived for years continuing to terrorise all the other neighbourhood dogs and cats

 

I've never been a big fan of cats but old Sam will always be remembered. He had real heart

A big Badger is a tough old lump, once they get a taste for fresh meat they will have a go at anything they come across, just depends how hungry they are, I've seen day time Badgers killing rabbit doe's when they return to feed their kits.

do they prey on cats?

 

it would have to be a pretty dopey cat to get caught by a badger but they are an opportunistic hunter and if they stumbled across one that was fecked or not paying attention I would think they might take one but very rarely, I do know of a non excistant animal that seems to, and an area in the Cotswolds that has been having lots of sightings has also had a growing number of domestics and a few dogs disappearing lately ? If you believe in that sort of stuff

what do u think it is?

sorry

Felis sylvestris lybica (the African wildcat) said to be the Ancestor to the cute tabbies!!! That have the right to Rome about pishing and shitting in other people property. As well as decimating our song birds.

I think magpies do more damage to the songbird population but totally agree with the rest of your sentiment all the songbirds including the swifts in my roof were taken by magpie,s despite my best efforts to shoot the lot of them, I don't normally kill unless I,m eating it with the exception of rats and magpies

id say theres more chance of a fox taking a cat ,then a badger

I agree about the magpies and all corvids barring choughs

Aye I did. Got woken up by the almighty racket and looked out the window to see them rolling around in the back yard. By time I got down there badger had run off and the cat was laying by the back door with the lawn covered in badger and cat fur.

[waltjnr 6,922]

OK, fair play! Was sceptical at your initial statement, but if you say you witnessed it!

[BGD 6,436]

Honestly the cat was like no other I've ever known. Tough as old boots and fearless with it, a brilliant hunter too. The size of some of things he'd bring home would leave you scratching your head as to how he managed to carry them let alone kill them!
