Too big? I don't think so.

I always thought anything bigger than a large rabbit was too much for a bird of prey.

Check out this article on bald eagles. From the article:

A bald eagle's lifting power is about 4 pounds.

Last time I checked, my cat weighs about 13 pounds. I think most of them are at least 11 or 12 pounds - far outside of the lifting capability of a bald eagle.
