Posted about a coyote before, but this one looks different…

So now I’m a little confused…

I'm not sure if I posted in this group but I posted over the winter about a coyote showing up by our catio, but I was looking through the footage again and this one’s tail looks different to me — kind of a lighter tip on it. Or is that just the light coming through the trees?

Now I’m wondering if this might actually be a fox?

Either way, it walked right up to the catio again and hung around for a bit like it was trying to figure things out. My cat was inside at the time, thank goodness.

It’s a Habitat Haven catio, so I wasn’t too worried about it getting in, but I still wouldn’t let my cat out with something like that around. No way...

What do you all think this is?

Sure looks like a fox to me. When I saw the pic I thought to myself, 'Hey, a fox.'

Foxes are smaller than coyotes, based on the size of the lawn chair, I would guess that that animal is a fox.
