Two cats had an unexpected visitor - a wild fox who decided to stop by the family's yard where the cats and their human met it face to face for the first time.

Jimmy the cat saw a surprise visitor outside their house.

"This incredible encounter happened to me this week. The fox was curled up asleep at my back door. Foxes are normally nocturnal and will run away if they spot you anywhere near. But I just sat there for ages chilling with this fox and two of my cats Jimmy and Sammy. I sensed no hostility from either side, just a relaxed inquisitiveness," Dan Bull recounted.

Sammy the cat also came to meet the wild fox.
