This is one of the many

We are in the middle of getting a new summer house. When we lifted the old one we found that underneath. It was one of our big goldfish from the pond. He would've been really old.

Far more likely to have been a heron or even fox.

A heron!!! Not round here. We have lost fish to cats before. No foxes round here either.

That was not nice!! Cats piss me off too. (As much as I love them).
Same kind of thing happened to me at my dads house, but we saw the cat running off with a mirror carp worth £50+.
That was even more annoying when you cant catch the bloody cat to rescue the pooh fishie!

IT was a few years ago when we got a knock at the door. Our neighbour broke the news to us a cat had ran off with one of our fishes. It was sick, there was a long trail of blood up the street. It's annoying, there shouldnt be cats on our property!
My my mum likes to chuck a bucket of water over them, seems to work as they don't come back in a hurry!

you shouldnt do cruel things like that to them. It is their natural instinct to eatand hunt fish. If you dont want them on your property put a gate up.

The problem seems to be your neighbors not knowing how to care for their pets. My neighbor has a cat that they let run loose, unsupervised. My yard is fenced in, 3 1/2', 4' chain link, as well as 6' of wooden fence along one side. I've seen the cat flip the 6' wooden fence, he comes in to play with my terrier. Gates & fences are no barrier to cats, they like to climb. I guess some people don't care if their pets get flattened out by a car.

There was a big issue a few weeks back in Wisconsin, they were considering letting people shoot feral cats. Seems some areas are being overrun. You should never introduce non-native animals into the wild, cats, dogs, fish, whatever. You risk causing major environmental problems. Sometimes the offenders need to be eliminated.
