Who is eating my neons?

Ok, so I have recently lost (and I mean literally lost) 2 neons. One a couple weeks ago, and another a couple days ago. I had 6 of them in a 10G with a single betta.

We also have a kitten who likes to get on top of the tank, and knocks the filter lid into the tank regularly (I am guessing he is either trying to reach into the tank for something, or just clumsy).

So, when I found the first neon missing I took out decorations, checked in the filter, behind the tank, under the tank etc, no sign of it, same with the second one.

So....... who is eating them? the cat or the betta? the betta seems too small, but I dunno, and to be honest, the cat is too stupid!! But I need to figure out where they are going.

Thanks.

Maybe they just died of other causes and then the rest of the fish ate the carcass.

Edit: I'd be surprised if the cat could actually catch and eat a fish that small and fast without ending up in the tank.

Doubtful they died of other causes, they all had good bright color, very active, eating, swimming etc, no symptoms of any description, they literally are there one minute, then gone.
