Years ago my I heard my cat meowing really loudly at night and looked outside through the bedroom window. It was there in the middle of the road walking up to a fully grown fox. I was just about to run outside before it got eaten when I realised the Fox looked a bit worried. The cat got within about 3 ft, stopped meowing and sat down after sniffing the air. The fox turned and ran off. The cat looked a bit gutted, like it just wanted someone to hang out with.
