We don't know for sure what took the cat, but we think it might have been the bob cat which has been sighted along homes adjacent to the county road. Another neighbor lets her cat out onto the screened lanai, and one evening she heard "a fairly large animal" rummaging in the base of the shrubs which screen her lanaii. The neighbor yelled, and the animal ran off. I agree with the other poster, that lanai screens are sturdy and likely sufficient to keep out smaller predators. We also see foxes, and I'm guessing it was a fox foraging beneath the shrubs for mice.
