From what I have read, the cat remains people find in bald eagles nests are most likely roadkill, and once roadkill has dried or lost some innards, it probably weighs a lot less than it did when it was alive. I read a story about the eagle managing to carry a 12 lb stick somewhere on the internet, and it was one experts opinion that as eagles can't normally lift anywhere close to that much, it was probably a situation where the stick was grabbed somewhere high, like on a mountain side, or from a tree, and then just guided down. But talking to local vets is probably the best idea, as animals can learn new behavior, and in some areas birds of prey may have learned to see some cats as a potential meal.
Eagles or hawks or owls will attack anything they feel is threat to their babies!
