Most owls are indiscriminate eaters and will chow down on whatever they get those feet on.
I had no doubt a GHO could do it, but I came across a photo of a Barred Owl lifting an adult cat off the ground, which I found rather impressive.
Kitties are pretty high up the food chain, but they're size still leaves them so potential tasty morsels for anything bigger than they are, just like bigger owls will hunt smaller owls.
Just one more reason to keep kitty indoors where it belongs!
