Op. This is as a result of witch craft.

The cat was it's way to a very important meeting when it's rival witches attacked it.

Opistorincos:



Domestic animal. Only a dog can do this. If it's not a dog, then, it's a roaming honey badger.

Dog cannot kill cat.

Also, poisonous snakes cannot kill cats too.

I have onced reared a cat, the cat kill two snakes which was witnessed by me. As for dogs, whenever they come face-to-face with a cat, cats show their angered nature and attack them fiercely. I witnessed this from cats on many occasions. At the end, the dog will either run away or keep it's distance

grandstar:


Agreed. What I was pointing out was the snake would have swallowed or eaten the cat and not just abandon it there.

I had seen some documentaries where they regurgitated their meals after swallowing. They do it for some reasons. If they have difficulties swallowing their prey. They still do that to escape predators as the the weight of the prey may probably slow them from escaping.

Go and do autopsy and save us the stress of guessing. For your own security to because what kills that cat can easily kill you too. We in strange times now ooooh.

Leopard won’t leave is kill behind

. He said Civet cat not leopard

pTomz:
Y'all saying python, I thought pythons swallow anything they kill ni

it doesn't stay in the belle of the python forever you know

FlipModeSquade:
Does it have to be a domestic animal?

The OP clearly doesn't know what did it..

Ova leave Op out of it. This is how you fail. You were Clearly told to state a domestic animal, or wasn’t that the question?

Why the need for the "domestic" in your question? A cat killed in the middle of the night outside and you are narrowing it down to a domestic animal attacker?

A feral cat or dog possibly killed the cat. A feral cat or dog isn't domestic anymore.

Doesn't look like a work of a domestic animal but a dog can kill a cat

Na so una go just dey talk wetin you no sabi. A Civet is wholly omnivore, and very timid. A Civet is too big and strong for a cat to attack, and a Civet wouldn't even get in a fight with a cat at all.
A cat and a civet have no business fighting each other and would go their separate ways if their paths cross.

I would have suspected a pack of dogs, but the OP did not report hearing growling sounds of dogs, so I go for two possible scenarios.

1) It was killed in a fight with a cat or several cats
2) It was a rabid cat that finally succumbed to the virus. Rabid cats or dogs when dying could make lots of noise similar to what the OP heard.

Civet is not a domestic animal.

There are several animals that can kill a cat but they're not domestic.
Only domestic animal I know that can kill a cat is dog. Not any kind of breed, but breeds like Pitbull terriers.

Maybe the cat (or whatever it is cos that doesn't look like a pussycat to me) ate a prey poisoned by the phosphide.

I think it's the sock away it entered that did the damage.
