Hi Steve,
I have not heard of cats digging for prey. This doesn't mean that they
don't..
A Fox would certainly dig a nest out.
But I have seen a Little Raven dig out a bald young rabbit kitten, which
was carried off towards a squawking nest. It had to go down about 5
inches and was busily digging for some time, returning after disturbance
several times.

G'day all
I was eagerly waiting for a pair of incubating Spotted Pardalotes to hatch
their chicks. Their hole was in an easily watchable part of my garden.
Yesterday I realised I hadn't seen any activity for a while and investigated to
find an excavation behind the nest entrance - no doubt to extract eggs or
chicks.
We don't have pets or lizards. We do have neighbours' cats and there are bound
to be foxes around.
So, would a cat dig the nest out?
Cheers
