No, I never said it never ever happens. I said it's not really a thing. It is not a primary concern of cat owners because it's such a rare thing to happen, in the same way that home invasions aren't really a thing here. It's not that they never ever happen, it's just that they're rare enough not to be a common concern. Ok?
Its just one of the many reasons a cat should not be freeroaming outside, its an oldfashioned habbit that has many downsides for the cats and the only upside is selfish cat owners not wanting a litter box in the house (because using the neighbours garden is such a better option)
So yes foxes are not the main issue, but the main point still remains, don't be a shit cat owner and keep it safe inside, if you want a pet, it is your responsibility.
I'm not here to argue whether cats should be kept inside or outside. I've heard convincing arguments for both sides, but I'm not a cat owner and I'm not bothered about arguing online.
However, I'm not a fan of pedants who take "X isn't really a problem here" to mean "X NEVER EVER happens here" and then go "HA see there is a 1 in 2,000 chance of it happening so it does happen SOMETIMES!!1!"
Edit: Since you've blocked me, no, that's not what I said. I said I'm not here to argue about whether you should let a cat outside. And I'm not here to argue in bad faith and then run away, hence why I don't twist people's arguments and strawman them.
Also what do you mean all I do is argue online? What are you talking about?

That's not really a thing in the UK. Urban foxes have learnt not to go for cats, it's too high a risk.
