Foxes are cool. I always enjoy seeing them around our neighborhood.

Years ago we had a family of foxes under our front door step, and this is in a very dense, suburban housing neighborhood. I was taking a phone call at night outside the front door, and all of a sudden I see a dark, kitten-like thing crawling around my feet. I didn't know fox kits were dark grey/black, so I didn't know what it was at first. They stayed there about a week longer until the kits started getting bolder and exploring more and more, and the interactions with my family / dogs became more commonplace. At one point my wife, who loves all fuzzy creatures, opened the door, found one on the stoop, and brought it inside the house (I know, I know, terrible idea). Eventually the mom got fed up and we watched her haul them into the woods behind our house one-by-one.
