I've got two dogs, and a cat. So our dogs are used to cats, but one is an airedale terrier, that does like to chase squirrels but really loves the cat (they were raised together from babies).
So while I was walking my dogs in the field, we encountered a family walking their cat, off lead and without any way to safely contain it.
My dog got excited and went after it like she would have with a squirrel (it's a field after all with plenty of dog walkers and squirrels).
The family got annoyed with me as the cat was very distressed (poor kitty!)
It was a very bizarre encounter but I think they should.at least have had a plan B beyond cuddles to contain their kitty cat.
