It went well. They stared at each other for a bit, and then the cat left. I have more pictures from that encounter which I might post - the cat was creeping along the top of the garden fence to try to sneak up on the fox, and got about to where she is in this picture before she was spotted but the fox clearly just wanted to go back to sleep and didn't do much more than lift its head and stare her down.
That's true. It's been an issue near me as well. Thankfully in the most built up parts of London the foxes seems to mostly have enough food to not be particularly interested in cats. But I always keep an eye out when I see the cats here get close to foxes in case it turns nasty (not happened so far).
