It could be a cat, but I still think it's more likely a raccoon. Eating the head and leaving the rest is a classic raccoon kill. Other animals will do it occasionaly as well, but you should be on guard for more raccoon attacks. They're persistant and clever so it can turn into a real problem. If you're able to I'd rent, buy, or borrow a live trap and bait it with marshmallows. Raccoons love them and you're less likely to catch every other thing in the neighborhood when you use them for bait.

we set a trap last night with my dog's gross smelly dog food, but nothing was in there this morning

I am sorry for your loss but I think it's a raccoon, not a cat.

loss of your little silky Headless
sounds like a raccoon too me

For coons use marshmallows as bait.

It was most likely a coon. We were losing geese in the same manner until we set a trap. We also had to run hot wiring around our fences.
