Delurk.......I totally agree. I have 4 cats and an 8 X 40 raised bed tomato
and pepper garden. My cats have never hurt a single pepper that I am aware
of. Now when my neighbors rabbits dug a hole under the fence, I caught them
in my pepper patch and ran them out. Rabbits will eat just about anything
that grows including peppers.

Its more likely that something like a rabbit did it. Cats tend to be
finicky
and prefer to eat grass when outdoors, not solanaceous things that
generally
taste bad. My cats are always out in my garden with my chiles, and they
have yet to eat one. They have tried to cover the small ones with soil
after
doing you know what, but eat them? No.
