Do foxes attack cats? We had one chase ours into the house, but that was because s/he had young cubs in a den on the embankment behind our garden.
But I don't think they consider them as prey normally.

Fuck yes they do. One had a pretty good go at ours... left two massive holes in his back.

I'm very much not an authority on such things, but that was what I heard as the explanation for the decapitated cats, ie. not always the work of a human cat killer. It could be that they were dead/dying from other causes and the foxes have a go. I imagine the police can work out whether it's another animal or a human with a blade that's done it though.

There was some concern about the cat killer round our way (Catford) and apparently one of the cat charities is doing most of the tracking/documenting. There were lots of stories of decapitated cats that had nothing to do with the cat killer, though, and were presumed to be work of foxes.
