Foxes are cute, but they are horrible pets. They bite, and their pee/markings smell like the depths of hell. But damn, they are cute.
DarwinGreen5
the fox probably constantly screams(because that's what foxes do) and pee all over the place. but the fox snuggles seem worth it.

Yeah they sell it for hunting, it is so stinky other animals can't smell you over it

I think (hope) I stood in fox poop the other day.... It was a very particularly pungent smell.

Most wild animals do, domestication takes a long time. I've only heard a few stories of attempts that last more than a few years, non >100.

There is a breed of domestic foxes. Although, while they are much friendlier, I'm not sure how they fair in the hygiene department.
blockEdragon
From what I've read, bad. They didn't breed them to be pets, they just bred them to be domesticated. They didn't care about cleanliness.

Yeah, you can't expect a few decades to measure up to millennia. For the time they had though, the progress is impressive.

Alas, I had to Google that one, I wasn't even sure she'd been in it, but figured it was a safe bet.

I like old words, language used to be such a beautiful thing. These kids need to stop trying to make fetch happen.

I've heard that fox piss stinks and the smell is impossible to get rid of!
Like cats
NSander
Way way worse. You can smell fox piss from a great distance in the forrest.
Oh, for sure, we have a few around us, the smell of cats has some deep-rooted childhood trauma attached to it though, so I might be biased.

How does toxoplasmosis make them less wild?
Totallyscrewedinaustin
Infects the brain and makes them more docile. Same as with rats/mice. More docile, less afraid and easily eaten/passed on to new host!

I was with you for the first half, but that last part threw me a little bit...

Cat feces can carry what causes toxoplasmosis. Rodents who become infected become so docile they approach cats, like asking to be eaten.
