I need more data, as Podrock implies below. One encounter is happenstance, two could be coincidence. A third would definitely suggest enemy action.

No obvious trauma, they had just been played with a bit too much. She seems to be moving on to bigger challenges- squirrels now take a big risk entering our yard. And she seems convinced that she can one day take down a deer- a herd comes through our yard regularly ... she weighs only 45 lbs. but I fear its only a matter of time before we find a 12 point buck in front of our deck.
