So last night, randomly went to the back patio door, looked out and saw a blooming fox scaling the top of my fence, walking/falling off over along the top of the featheredge boarding.
My legs turned to jelly. I scrambled around looking for the door keys, found them on the table, opened it and bolted out across the decking, scaled a table in my way, and then vaulted over the decking surrounding rails. Fell all through chicken poo, slid across all the chippings into mud grabbing a rock on my way through towards the side garden where I saw the beast coming in!
I must have started it, as it was making its way over the coop, into the garden I was in (and the chickens) - I could hardly run at this point, I tell ya - I was shaking all over!!!!
Anyway, managed to hop quickly back in (this is all with no shoes on, btw! - my feet are all cut up heh) to the main garden and jump over the back wall (bit of a drop - it's around 10' from the road below) - anyway, cornered the blooming thing inbetween the fence at the back of the coop, the wall and myself/the road.
Panting like a horse just ran a race and still trembling with adrenaline thinking what am I doing, what if it jumps up and mames me.....
"meow".
It was a bloody ginger and white tomcat (bigun mind).
Can't tell you how stupid I felt.. No idea if the neighbours saw me - chickens won't come near me again yet after I'd scooped them up and lobbed them in the coop/run for safety. Man.

It was the bushy tail with a white tip on that did it for me!!!
