One Cat, No Fish (or No Cat, Some Fish)

No, this is not the title of a Dr. Seuss story.
It appears that a stray cat has decided to reduce my fish population. There should be 8 fish in my pond. I can see none of them. Going to remove the plants and take a better lookon Tuesday, but I am not hopeful!
I HATE CATS!!!
Later that day: It appears I may have judged the aforementioned cat a bit harshly. Upon further review, there seem to be at least 4 live fish in the pond, and perhaps more, revealed by removing the plants and observing their activity with a flashlight!.

I STILL HATE CATS and I am beginning to hate fish as well!
