When the Night Falls: The Shocking Truth About Foxes Hunting Your Beloved Cats Outside
So yes, foxes attacking cats can happen, but it’s rare, and usually only in special situations.
What Puts Your Cat at Risk (and What Doesn’t) 😬
Not every cat is at equal risk. Some are easier targets, and it mostly comes down to their condition and where they roam.
Kittens, senior cats, and injured pets are more vulnerable. They may not be able to escape quickly or sense nearby threats. In these cases, a fox can kill a cat, especially if the fox is hungry or feels cornered.
Foxes tend to be most active during twilight hours—early morning, late evening, and overnight. If your cat explores during those times, especially near woods or quiet spaces, there’s a higher chance of a run-in. Urban foxes also wander through backyards, side streets, and even porches.
