House cats, finicky about food..?

Our cat woke us up one night in the summer house. He was up in the pear tree outside our bedroom window, probably chased up there by a fox. The fox was "barking" at him and he screamed back. An awful racket.

What predators do you have?

The cold never seemed to keep him from going outside, though.

I hope you don't mind the chatter, Abodybomber.

Not in the slightest,Oak tree.& 360..
In previous posts, my pet walked back in the back door,& meowed. ( back patio door always open, when I am at the house) Walked outside,something healthy & heavy was climbing the power pole in the dark. Turned out ,to be a raccoon. The second time: was out back,with an adult frosty beverage, & FABO on my tablet. The cat finally got aggressive,.... on a incoming skunk... The broom was handy, used that to deflect the cat's forward back to the house.. Finally nailed the skunk with the garden hose,to let it know not to come back.. It marked the fence nastily, I can live with it. (43 years in the same house, first skunk ever. And my lazyass feline wanted to become a warrior then. Just,ugh..)
