Cats never seem to eat their prey and rarely leave wounds. The reason I think this is because your father's cat was acting exactly like mine was a few mornings ago. The cat had somehow detected that another cat was outdoors although it was still dark outside. I only knew it was there once I turned on the yard light.

My Dad was wondering what might kill a male pheasant in the night. We've talked about fox, coyote, owl. Nothing was heard in the night. The cat was going snaky though! Staring through the windows, jumping to get higher vantage points to see out the window. She definitely knew something was going on in the backyard. The pheasant was found in the am. But nothing was 'missing' from him. Whatever killed him wasn't interested in eating. ( or was startled away. ) This was before the snow, so no one was able to find any other tracks or tell tale signs. Just wondering.... Thanks.
