Fox found sleeping in family's spare bedroom

An opportunistic fox treated itself to a lie-in at the weekend in the spare bedroom of a family home.



Sarah Preddy and her partner Colin Linton, of Romford, Essex, were enjoying a Sunday morning cup of tea, when they discovered the ‘arrogant’ animal relaxing on the bed in their spare room after pet dog, Molly, became restless. They said upon opening the door they saw bushy-tailed squatter had made itself at home on top of the duvet.





“It was just sitting there in the corner,” said Sarah. “It must have wandered in through the patio and up the stairs. It was so bold, I couldn’t believe it.” It apparently stayed at their house for another hour before it finally left, with Sarah’s step-sons managing to take photographs of the fox lying on the bed and then making its way out down the stairs.



An RSPCA spokesman said: “It is unusual for foxes to enter homes as by nature they will tend to avoid human contact. In the rare instances when they do venture into a home, it is likely they are attracted to food which has been left out.”

It took me a second to get the perspective on that picture.
