A Whitehorse family got a little wild surprise this week when it turned out the abandoned puppy they rescued wasn't a puppy at all but most likely a fox.
"commanderkai" said I'm honestly surprised foxes haven't been domesticated more.
I too am surprised they aren't more widespread. The Russian scientists who started the Silver Fox experiment found the foxes after 2 generations craved human affection. You can still get them as pets 50 years after the experiment, as they are a domesticated breed now.
But then again, constant attention to a pet comes at a cost. That's one reason I like cats. 10 minutes of brushing and some begging for cheese, and she leaves me alone for 12 hours.

So... who wants to die first? One of these days when you are least expecting it, I will kill you with kindness. It will be long, and slow, and you may not even notice it's happening until it's too late.

I forget who it was but one of our members recently posted a picture of a fox eating from their hand. Seems to me these critters would probably be okay to have around if they want to hang around with us...not much different from cats, really.
It's still going to make an amazing pet.
Maybe better than a cat!!
DW is going to kill me.

I have a friend with a Fennec fox as a pet. It's like having both a dog and a cat in one package.
(this is not his fox, but you get the idea)

A sack of fishing worms would make a better pet than a cat!
