Fox is chased away after being clawed in the face by angry cat The fox was filmed trying to steal the food in Fleet, Hampshire After two attempts to get around the cat, the fox hastily retreats This fox chewed off more than was good for it when it started eating a cat's dinner. The ferocious feline watched the cheeky interloper for a few moments and then hissed and struck out with its claws, frightening off the fox. But the hungry wild predator came back for seconds, with the same result, an attack by the black and white cat . On the prowl: The black and white cat stands ready to pounce as the cheeky fox makes a grab for his dinner Ready to pounce: The fox begins to tuck into the cat's food as the angry feline looks on Angry: The cat hisses and swipes a paw at the fox who leaps out of the way of the attack Trying to outfox the mighty moggie, it ran off, but cunningly circled back round to the food plate. This time the cat really let rip, dishing out more punishment. The fox hangs around for a few seconds and contemplates a third attempt to sneak past the cat. But the cat stands its ground and stands poised to defend his dinner once more. The fox eventually retreats back to the safety of the road, taking one last look back at the cat. Retreat: The fox dashes off in terror after the cat has defended its dinner Undeterred: The brazen fox goes in for a second go at stealing the cat's dinner Not willing to share: The cat takes a second swipe at the fox who this time runs away from the pile of food The unusual animal antics were captured from an upstairs window by Julie Peacock, 41, of Fleet, Hampshire, who watched amazed at the daylight robbery attempts before the fox got its just desserts. She said: 'I half expected the fox to make a meal of the cat, but just the opposite happened. The cat, which belongs to a neighbour, was not scared at all. It obviously considers the garden - as well as the food bowl - as its territory and was guarding it against all-comers, even hungry foxes. Running away: The fox looks up at the camera as he wanders away from the food with his tail between his legs Going away empty handed: The fox slowly heads back towards the safety of the road leaving the cat to his meal
