Re: Fox eat cats, don't they?

Foxes mostly eat small mammals and wounded birds, and are not above scrounging a meal from a garbage can if the pickings seem safe. Although foxes are infamous in stories and legend for raiding the hen house, most foxes prefer to avoid noisy prey and will not enter any situation that seems too suspicious. Similarly, <span style="font-weight: bold">foxes rarely attack dogs or cats - the former because they are noisy and likely to attract attention, the latter because they are armed and troublesome</span>.

A fox will usually fight off a dog only to protect its family, and only if there is no other choice. Most foxes prefer to lead a dog away from the den and into foreign territory, there to lose it and return without doing battle. (When family pets or small livestock do disappear, the culprit is often a coyote, a raccoon or another dog. The fox may enjoy a snack once the deed is done if there are leftovers, but will rarely go after anything that might sound an alarm.)

Most wild animals including foxes does not attack any animal when they are facing them. He wanted to go from behind the cat, but the other cat would have been behind him. and he will not turn his back on another animal. since that is how he instinctively attacks. One larger animals will face another animal. most wild animals will attack in packs so that while one is attracting the preyprey's attention in front he is usually taken down from behind.

domestic cats do not know the difference between foxes and dogs, so that is why many are caught off guard and eaten. they allow the fox to get close as they would a dog, and then they get killed before they know what is happening. cats have been known to drive off larger attackers like the size of cougars.

Those cats don't look domestic to me they look more feral, hence the food thrown out on the cement. The fox was after the cat food. Domestic cats would smell the wildness and probably take off.
