Cas took another trip to the vet today. Don't worry, he's in perfect health. He went to get his booster shots and also to get neutered. It's important to neuter a fox unless you plan on breeding them. Since we have a red fox and an Arctic fox living together it would be dangerous to have them mature with their hormones intact. Seraphina, red fox, would be territorial and aggressive when she would come into heat and she could hurt Cas. Castiel had started showing signs of his testosterone coming in so it was time to get him neutered.
Spaying and neutering a fox does not prevent them from spraying to mark their territory, and their urine smells very musky like a skunk. But it does reduce their territorial tendencies so that they will live together in harmony past maturity. Cas and Seraphina are best buddies and play, lounge, run, dig, and cache together and from each other all day long.
