Old Crooked Tail has a friend. She's been traveling solo for almost a year, but we finally have proof she has a pal. And having a friend around paid off the other night. There's a ferocious feral cat that almost always gets to the food first, and the cat's not intimidated by one lonesome fox. But two, now we're talking.
One night this week the pair of foxes showed up while the gray/white cat ate.
Old Crooked Tail sneaks up on the cat. The cat takes a defensive stance.
The cat skedaddled, and the fox pair descends into the food court.
The standard fare is two frozen chicken drumsticks. But this night there was a delicacy: road kill bird. Here's Old Crooked Tail with the bird in her mouth.

The potentially bad news for us is that this other fox may have lured Old Crooked Tail off to a better place as she showed up for dinner here only three times this week. I can't tell whether Scrawny Tail is male or female. If he's male I hope he's a good provider. Hey, maybe they're off making made passionate love. My my, wouldn't it be grand if she had a litter of pups?
