This compilation video of him chasing a Fox, killing a pidgeon, and fighting with (recently retired) admiralty cat Palmerston is worth a watch (1min 21 sec)

Trying to get a pigeon. It escaped.

Yep, he got it pretty good but clipped claws probably saved the bird. Or he was doing it for sport.

Brave cat going after a fox!! My money would be on the fox but Larry does more than hold his own.

Wild foxes often fear the cats because they have more pointy ends. There are no guarantees of course.

Interesting, must be a regional thing since my grandparents had several cats eaten/chased by foxes over the years.
