Red Fox in the neighborhood

Hi everybody -
I just spotted a red fox running right down the middle of Willowbrook, coming from somewhere around 18th Street (at least) and heading back to the wooded area behind the h.s. track. It was a beautiful creature!! It may never step a paw into our neighborhood again but, then again, it just might.

I started wondering whether it might be dangerous to pets. So--did some checking online and it sounds like anyone with cats should at least be made aware that there was a fox actually in the neighborhood. If you know anyone else with a cat who is not included in the email addresses above, you might want to let them know. This same article mentioned a possibility of a fox having rabies but this one looked really healthy.
