Video: Feral Cat Lets Fox Know Not To Eat From His Bowl
A Ring video camera captured an early-morning confrontation in a Fairfax neighborhood between a feral cat and a fox.
FAIRFAX, VA — Just like Popeye the Sailor doesn't like bullies messing with his spinach, a feral cat named for the cartoon character apparently doesn't like anybody bothering him or his food either.
The family of a Patch editor who lives outside the City of Fairfax has been feeding a feral cat since early last year. They installed a Ring video camera to watch Popeye, who visits their house off and on throughout the day.
From early on, the camera has captured video of other late-night visitors besides Popeye, including mice and a fox.
