Anon, you and a few others have provided healthy arguments, but most of the people on this thread are genuinely suffering from mental illnesses.
Nobody can know the outcome and nature doesn't work in absolutes. Maybe the cat died, maybe the owl died, maybe both died and maybe none died. But people will call you a toxoplasmosis ladden cat fucker unless you say the cat 100% got destroyed. They'll explain their point as if it was video game stats or some shit. They just want to assume the cat died, and if it was any two other animals in that situation the discussion would be far less retarded because people on this board are especially obsessed with cats and birds.
In my opinion, there's a high chance that both of them got out of it alive just because that's how most hunts turn out. Cats will walk off that kind if dire injuries pretty often and can sustain high falls, and owls would rather pick lighter preys because it's easier to deal with than something heavy that has claws. All other outcomes cited above are also possible.
