This morning the new snow told tales that are less clear in the summer. Here are the tracks of the Fast Food Ferals near their feeding station.
Gillian's tracks at the south hill feeding station...
A fox checks out a feeding station, but apparently isn't much interested in cat food, since there was plenty of food left in the small bowl which supports two neutered cats. It is also possible this is a hind foot track of a cat standing to check out the top of the feeding station. That might make the hind claws more visible in the track. Normally you would not see claw marks on cat tracks.
A muskrat crosses the unplowed roadway as I walk in to check the south hill feeding station.You can tell opossum and muskrat tracks by the marks of their tail dragging.
Cat tracks are closer together...
Fox tracks are much farther apart.
Cats and people use the same paths.

That's a great series of photos of different "tracks"! I did not know that cats claws usually don't show. Interesting!
