Wrong, something, and I'm assuming a bloody cat, has been digging on the bed and ripped some out! Not sure how I'll keep the little sods out of the garden this year with the hosepipe ban meaning I can't use the Scarecrow squirter.

I think it's more likely to be squirrels rather than cats. Or possibly foxes / badgers / crows after chafer beetle grubs. I found a few of those recently in pots where the soil had been left over winter.
I've netted everything with chicken wire to keep 'whatever' it is out.
No smell of fox and no where near enough damage to be a badger. To be fair I didn't investigate too far this morning, but I've found our local cats love to bury thier crap in any freshly dug (I'd hoed this patch yesterday) soil, though if that's not available they're happy to just use the lawn, or on at least one occasion the flat roof of our kitchen!
