THERE’S an easy way to stop urban foxes coming into homes: more domestic cats!

The moggy is a match for any fox.

Foxes are sly marauders, opportunists, whereas a cat will defend its territory and its folk. I’ve seen many a frightened fox seen off by a cat. Foxes are lovable and admirable. A cull is cruel opportunist panic talk from ambitious politicians and is not warranted.

Babies are in more real danger from their own family these days and from a trip out in the car.

Let’s not get this out of proportion.
