i'm so sorry. very distressing.
imo a cat is a real possibility. especially as her body wasn't carried away.

Is it comon that cats are violent to rabbits? We have about 40 cats on our street, many of them visit the garden. The majority of them are scared of the rabbits and keep a wide berth. A new cat that moved in behind us recently, which is super friendly, jumped in the run to check them out. Jellybean charged at the cat and knocked it over, kicking it with her hind legs, the poor cat was mortified. Thankfully the cat was fine, but I feel bad that I didn't get to them in time, as I know Jellybean hates cats and she will go for them instantly.
I've never heard of cats attacking rabbits before, but your comment makes me feel that I should be more cautious. Maybe I'm just lucky with the cats on my street.

My opinion, too.
A conti x French lop's head would be about the same size as a large cat, if not bigger - Odin's head is bigger than the average cat. Cats won't go anywhere near my two, they are far too big, Freja is bigger than your average cat and would rip a cat apart very quickly if she kicked out in self defence.
Totally different story to small rabbits.
Exactly what a fox did to one of my girls, left her headless with not a speck of blood anywhere
