If you are in an area populated with hawks and your cats are far from you, then yes, it is possible your cat could be a snack. I frequently have have these problems in my backyard, but not once has any of my cats been taken by a hawk. What you should do to avoid this event:

Hawks will not hunt if it sees a stronger, bigger thing that could harm it's hunt. So keep your cats within 5 or 7 yards from you.

Constantly scan the sky for any 'lingering' hawks. I've had hawks take to circling my cats from high above before. If you do see any hawks, go straight to your cat's side.

Follow that and your cats will be safe!

They are capable, but normally take rodents, as a cat would put up a fight that could prove fatal to the hawk if the killing talons missed a vital spot.

Yes. a hawk will absolutely eat your cat if it wanted to. The only way to get to the cat is if it is OUTSIDE...
