I've often read stories of foxes running off with full-grown cats.
I challenged a woman who posted one-such (very politely) and she responded with major vitriol. The fox was apparently the size of a Labrador, they were common in her part of the country and obviously a townie like me had never seen a fox before.
I backed off after that. Despite thinking she protested too much.

Length: The Red fox is the largest fox in the Vulpes genus. Globally, 45 – 90cm (1.5ft – 3ft) head & body length; foxes can reach 1.5m (5ft) TL (including tail). In the UK, adult male foxes typically range between 67cm and 72cm (26 - 28in.), while females fall between 62cm to 68cm. The tail, or brush, makes up roughly one-third of the total body length; the longest record for a brush I have come across is 55.5cm (almost 2ft!).
The adult fox weight is from 6 to 15 pounds (2.7-6.8 kg)

Not saying Grav is deluded, just that I am aware of people's perspectives being skewed, perhaps by distance.
