Will a fox attack my outdoor kitten even with dogs present?

Yes, you got it right. They often can't distinguish between kittens and other small preys and will attack and kill the kittens as well. The same can apply to small children, that in their eyes can be considered something not human as they are not fully grown up, make funny sounds and have different smells. This does not apply got every dog, but does apply to dogs like yours that feel the instinct to attack. I would advise against rescuing a kitten or it might end up in a tragedy ! Best wishes

I would be concerned that the dog thought the kitten was a play toy, and that's why Dixie grabbed it out of the cage. Newborn kittens are extremely fragile, and Dixie could potentially hurt the kitten even if she didn't mean to; therefore, I would keep the dogs away from your cat and her kittens until the kittens are at least four weeks of age. At that age, they will be exploring the world around the, and the dogs can have contact with the kittens when fully supervised.

I am sorry to hear of your loss, some dogs will never acclimatise to cats and will act as a predator -prey species regardless of age or infirmity. I would not recommend another cat or kitten as he is likely to attempt to attack again.

From what you are describing it sounds more likely that Seagulls became frightened after Miley came under the bed. She has most likely taken the kittens and hidden them somewhere else. I would keep Miley away from Seagulls if possible for a few days. Try to search the house and the yard for where she could have hidden the kittens. They need their mother's milk for 100% of their nutrition. Cats can hide their kittens in very small and surprising places. Once you have located the kittens create a safe haven for them and for Seagulls. A room or space that no one else goes into ideally, and especially not Miley.

I am sorry to hear about your loss. That is definitively possible unfortunately as soft tissues injuries could be not immediately visible and even minimal bleeding can be fatal to kittens of that age unfortunately.

I doubt a fox will be interested in eating your dogs. If you want to make sure foxes do not get into the enclosure, I would bury the fence about a foot underground around the enclosure and make sure it is at least 6 ft high, maybe with the wire bent outward. . This should be very fox and dog proof at the same time.

Your question is suitable for this website! No, an outsider male cat won't eat kittens, but he may view them as stepping on his territory and try to fight with them to defend it. At 25 days of age, the kittens are too young to be left outside overnight, so keeping them indoors is best. Its also best for their health to stay indoors, as they aren't old enough to be vaccinated, and they could get serious life threatening diseases from unvaccinated stray cats. If your parents insist on keeping them outside at night, I would get a shelter to secure them in that prevents other cats from getting close to them or having contact with them. Make sure they are warm in there too. Best of luck, I hope this helps!
