Good news for you d*g lovers! Because I’ve conferred the status of Honorary Cats™ on foxes, we might, if you’re good, have a few fox videos this week. Here’s the first: a playful young fox playing hob with someone’s golf ball

Playful fox steals golf ball

Cute fox but what is it with humans that they make those kissy noises when they see furry animals? The furry animals probably think that is how humans sound most of the time.
“universal animal sound”
And how about noises made at children? I remember being a 5 year old, looking at adults and thinking to myself, “undereducated imbeciles they are.” 😀
I talk in a high voice to my dog to annoy her. I think she can tell I’m making fun.
As a child, I thought it was nice when some people talked that way to me because usually they were indulging me somehow but mostly I too hated it & saw it as fake. My parents always talked to me normally.
I too talk to kids like they are normal human beings and I think they appreciate it.
I’ve had several kids tell me they always liked and remembered me because I was the first adult who talked to them like an equal. I only did it because I hated being talked to as if I didn’t understand what was going on when I was a child.
I’m totally gonna blame a fox the next time I lose a ball in the woods.
Foxes steal all kinds of stuff. A family friend had to find out where the fox lived in the woods to get some of his stuff back after winter.
I would like to also nominate Pugs as honorary cats. They’re not very cat-like, but they’re not terribly dog-like either.
pugs kind of purrrr
Please…. just no.
Horrible excuse for a quadruped that doesn’t have the grace or majesty required for cat-hood (even honourary)!
What kind of penalty stroke do you get when a wild animal runs off with your ball?
When my parents lived in Nigeria there were specific penalty strokes listed on the score cards for balls landing in the middle of coiled snakes (I think I’d let the snake keep it) , and also monkeys running off with the ball. Don’t remember all the details…
There’s a golf course outside of Skukuza camp in Kruger Park in S.Africa. Play has been halted by everything from lions on greens to elephants mating in bunkers to baboons making off with the balls
It brings a whole new depth of meaning to the golf term ‘hazard’!
“Oh goody! I’ve managed to steal this egg without any clucking!”
There was a nice clip shown on tv here in the UK recently of a bear cub ‘pole dancing’ with the flag on a golf green somewhere in N America. It is bound to be on You Tube and well worth a look.
