"Typically, they grab a grey goose by the neck and throw a duck across their back... and the little ones chew on the bones-o."

I had heard that song last year, and have been trying to find out what it is. Is it called "Daddy Fox?"

Maybe I can turn this into a lyrics request?

Up my way, in the Northern Adirondacks, we have been going in cycles with the foxies lately. If there are coyotes about, we will not see foxes around at all. If the coast is clear, than Ole Foxy is pretty common. I have heard of them taking cats, but more than likely it is the yotes. Around here, we have to worry about the fisher cats and owls as well.

All that, and my neighbors SWEAR they saw a cougar last summer up on the ridge behind our place. There are more and more reports of that around. They would most assuredly take a cat.

My little cat, Littlehead, got et up two summers ago. She was just about 30 yards from the cabin, and we never saw her again, except for some tufts of fur. The yoties had been yowling up a storm for a few days before, and I think it was them.
