I'd guess cat as well. Foxes don't tend to bother with live food when
there's lots of tasty rubbish around IME...

Foxes love dead squirrels, I discovered this by accident, when I was
catching
a couple a day, I used to put them into plastic bags into the dustbin, after
a little while I thought it was a waste of plastic bags so i started to try
to collect more squirrels in each bag, one day I went to the bottom of the
garden and couldn't find one of the bags which puzzled me until I found it
some distance away, it had been carefully opened and the contents were
missing, I was a little bit concernded at first that I hadn;t properly
killed the sqirels and they had recovered and got away, it then became
fairly obvious that it was the foxes who were responsible, so I now just
throw the dead squirrels onto the ground, the next day they are gone.
