I could see it was only dug in a few inches..then whatever it was gave up I think.....which is good. whew!!

I did old fashion way..put some moth balls in it ...so whatever it is..won't be around long..put a few around area just 'incase'.

Possibly smelled the cat also since it was right by the bedroom window where she sleeps..nites cool enuf to have window slightly open. I recall her the other nite looking really hard at 'something' that was there so probably when it was 'digging'.

thanks.
A couple of common diggers here ..squirrels hiding or finding buried nuts, that do not tunnel, and armadillos, which eat roots and also tunnel and make big holes. I would guess it is a squirrel, or as you say, a rabbit that changed its plan.
