Aww poor kittens! It is definitely possible that a fox or some other wild animal could have snatched up the two missing kittens even with the dogs nearby. Unfortunately, some dogs will not distinguish between pets and other wild animals so it is also possible that one of the dogs got the kittens. I'm sorry that this happened! Probably best to bring the kittens indoors for protection until they are older.
