I always had to do this too, audio processing disorder. I really only communicate well when I'm face to face in front of them and can see them clearly. Video conferencing is nowhere near as good, especially if the sound quality is poor.
 
You can have our cats, and our foxes too. We have a few too many of them.

Those cats are vicious as well. I remember driving down a highway at night (WA, I think) and saw a cat that was about one meter from nose to butt (not tail). As I approached, it raised both paws with claws extended and tried to jump my truck (ute, Toyota FJ45). Made no effort to get out of the way. I wouldn't want to face that thing unarmed.
 
Dogs pose little threat to them, they'll tackle anything many times their own size and as you mentioned, some of them are huge. The trouble is that all attempts of eradication are foiled by the fact that most humans aren't very responsible and keep reintroducing them. Cat ownership needs to be banned before we'll see change. Rabbits too, here at least Queensland is setting an example, the picture's a bit outdated though, the fine is now more than $80,000.

“under the Biosecurity Act 2014, pet rabbits are banned in Queensland. It is an offence to keep any variety as a pet. The penalty for illegally distributing/selling, moving, keeping or feeding rabbits is $83,400 (up to 500 penalty points).”

You would think all those cats an foxes would reduce the rabbit population. Apparently not, the rabbits breed so fast the predators can't keep up, and all that food encourages the cats and foxes to breed more.
