How do I tell if my cat was attacked by a predator?

Most predator attacks happen within the territory. Check the edges of your yard for blood or fur. Depending on the type of predator involved, there might not be a body. In that case, talk talk to all your neighbors. Have there been recent coyote sightings in your  neighborhood? Have there been several missing cats within the last few months? If so, an animal attack is a scenario we’re forced to consider.
