Do foxes eat cats?

Foxes will definately eat cats. I have been keeping and breeding cats for over 20 years. I never had a problem with foxes until about 20 months. A kitten disappeared from the patio and snarling noises were heard. No hard evidence but a few days later my son was woken by snarling and struggling outside his window. He got up and saw the mother cat being shaken by a fox. He threw something and frightened the fox off but the cat's jaw was broken in 2 places and her shoulder muscle was badly damaged. She needed 3 operations at a cost of £300. This happened in early morning in June when it was light.

The next summer we had kittens again with a different mother cat. This time a kitten disappeared from the kitchen after being snatched through the catflap while eating. I was out of the room so only heard and saw the cat family scatter. One kitten had gone afterwards though. A week later the kittens were in the garden when one got snatched again. My son gave chase and the kitten was dropped. She suffered spinal damage and was left paralysed. After careful nursing and hand feeding she managed to walk again in a very wobbly way. A month later the fox came back and attacked her mother. She wasn't eaten but left headless. I buried her but the fox dug her up. The final straw came this week when the young cat who had been paralysed was locked out by mistake for only an hour but disappeared, presumably fox snatched.

My cats are kept indoors except when I am with them but the last few attacks have happened when the cats have managed to get out accidentally. The quality of life they were used to has worsened as they have to be kept in most of the time. I feel I can no longer give them the life I would like them to have because of foxes. I have now given up breeding because it has become too dangerous for the cats. My surviving cats live in a state of siege and I have been left devastated and traumatised.
