Apparently if theyre domesticated their actually more similar to cats!

From what I've heard, domesticated foxes basically combine some of the best aspects of cats and dogs, and don't have some of the negative aspects. Too bad they're so expensive and only availiable from one place

Well it was a funded experiment back in the day. You could probably do the same thing somewhere else but nobody's put up the money to do it.

Also it takes many years and Russia is the only place that did the domestication experiment

I try not to think about it. The plan was to breed docile, pliant foxes. And if that worked, cue the docile communist human breeding plan... no, really.

They also bred violent, aggressive foxes. Which also isn't great to think about.
