The problem is that cats can't evaluate risk the way humans can. A cat may choose to go outside, just as it may choose to run across a road, approach a coyote, eat something toxic, or wander onto someone else's property. We don't usually treat an animal's immediate preference as the final authority on what's best for it.

A cat wanting to go outside isn't evidence that unrestricted outdoor access is in its best interest any more than a dog wanting to chase traffic is evidence that traffic is safe.

Honestly your cat may have backed the fox down a little bit. If the cat runs, the fox immediately goes into hunt mode and the cat is prey. If the cat stands its ground, the fox might have been debating whether this was worth it or not.

I read the first trilogy of the Red Rising series by Pierce Brown recently and couldn't put it down. I didn't expect to like it that much but, that story really got me.

lol I immediately thought of this:

The reveal is quite hilarious but the cop doubling down is just cringe.
