[QUOTE="Nellisir, post: 8273543, member: 70"] OK, I used the word "tomcat" because it was 20lbs of angry male cat, but it was neutered. The owner is a veterinarian; he takes in unadoptable strays as barn cats. I'm not sure where you live, but foxes around here absolutely prey on cats. It's not Disneyworld. They went on a binge last year; got most of his barn cats, plus the guinea hens (yet again...he wasn't amused by my observation that he seemed to just be buying mobile fox food at this point), and possibly a few other critters. I wasn't really keeping track; he's got a lot of animals. Whether or not a dog will "intend" to kill a cat depends a lot on the dog breed. I had a 30-lb dog bred for hunting small game; if it was small and fast-moving, she would kill it without thinking. Massively hardwired instincts. I worked her hard on control (we did agility and obedience for several years) but was always careful to keep her leashed outside the yard (which was fenced). The angriest she ever got at me was when I took a dead groundhog away from her... (and no, she didn't do anything. Just dirty looks and two days of sulking.) P-O'ed fox in middle of picture. I'm maybe...80 feet away? It hung out there for another 20 minutes.
