The leaves on my sweet bell pepper plants look like deer have been nipping them. I cannot see tracks for the plants are in raised beds in the yard.

You bet they do...I will go and take pictures of my garden in my backyard and show you what all they eat.
I also never thought they would eat tomatoes, but they have eaten ALL of mine literally the day before I picked them!!!!
Everything I planted didnt come up because of the deer and turkeys. I get some things here and there, but for the most part, I have given up on the dang garden. I will have a high fence next year for sure!!!!!

My neighborhood deer are wearing out my roses. And surprisingly, they are also eating my neighbors tomato plants. I didn't think deer would eat those.
I can just imagine the little buck following your cat around. You may be on to a new decoy.
