We see one most nights go past the house up the road,and then later on going back down to the brook in the bottom of Barnsley Rd.

i live at lowedges and we see lots ,all times of the year,no problem with cats in our area,but lowedges was fields before houses and is surrounded by fields,hedges ect.

Same im also in the lowedges area see loads of foxes particularly around the perimeter of the transport ground living quite happily along side cats, see them most nights only a few meters away from cats washing themselves there no problem.

I'm in Walkley and we have regular foxes in the garden. This morning there was a big male and a couple of days ago a much shyer youngster.

 

I put out dog food....this is for all the wildlife, I have foxes, hedgehogs and wandering cats so it's a case of who gets the food first.

 

There is never any conflict between the foxes and cats, some of the cats round here are bigger than the foxes. They just ignore each other.

Mother does the same, she had a badger in once. Her cat is weary when the fox is about but there's been no trouble.

Never heard of it, anyhow back in the real world I watched one on the CCTV in the front garden about an hour ago, also seen the occasional badger on the front too.

We have a family of foxes who live  at the end of our lane.  They come to be fed and are very tame. They keep coming back with more  cubs . They're  quite cute

They're not just a Sheffield thing: urban foxes have been common for years. Even so, having lived in Oxford, London, and Bristol before I moved to Sheffield, I never managed to see one...  My first was crossing Northumberland Rd (years ago), and, since moving to Greno, we've had the pleasure of individuals passing through the Temuchin estate. And leaving a calling card...

I'm in Walkley and I get foxes in my yard and their poo stinks to high heaven.

 

One of my cats had its head bitten off by a fox, so I'm not a great fan.

My sister has a cat with a leg missing due to a fox, so conflict is possible.

 

However I'd say the chances of anything like that happening are very small, so I wouldn't worry about it.

 

We have foxes and cubs in the fields by us

We see them quite regularly here in S11. I was hanging out my washing one sunny afternoon and a fox trotted across the lawn a few feet away from me, totally unconcerned.

Ive chucked scraps out and seen a cat eating at the side of a fox and no drama.
