Dog just killed my cat

210 replies

IroningThrone · 19/09/2023 23:30

Heard a commotion in my back garden and stepped out to see a young lad dragging his dog off something in my back garden. He went over the fence and my beautiful little cat was lying dead on the grass. I'm in absolute bits, can't stop crying. I got her as a little rescue kitten ten years ago and she's been with me through so much life stuff. Have a crime number from the police, have no idea how I'm going to tell my family. I don't even know how the dog got into my garden because I have talk fences and a locked gate. Ir doesn't feel real and I just want to give her a cuddle and make her wake up

I'm so sorry, you poor thing. Lurchers can jump really high fences. xxx

That's dreadful. It's not your fault at all and how cowardly not to own up to it.

I can't imagine how awful this must be for you. Literally sending handhold. Well done for logging this dreadful crime with the Police. I would also suggest asking for this thread to be moved to the 'Litter Tray' forum; you'll get loads of advice and shared / common experiences xxFlowers

Oh op, how awful, I am so sorry. Your poor little lovely cat.

I am sorry for your loss. I've just posted on another thread that I think that these days all dogs, even toy breeds, should wear a muzzle in public. On your own secure premises you can do what you like with your dog. If this was law, and it was followed, your poor cat would still be alive. And without minimising your loss, that could have been a child that was attacked.

xogossipgirlxo · 20/09/2023 00:12

How terribly sad, she was beautiful😢

SandraTeaspoon · 20/09/2023 00:15

She's a beautiful cat 🐱

Justleaveitblankthen · 20/09/2023 00:17

Oh no, this is desperately sad.

Maybe keep your bastard dog on a lead before it does catch and kill a cat. Really not the place or time to share your story of how your dog tries to kill other animals.

This is the most stunningly insensitive thing I have ever seen! What a horrible thing to post, especially when the op is clearly deeply upset and sad! You should be ashamed, @Youdoyoubabe

SamW98 · 20/09/2023 00:22

So sorry to hear this. My cat was attacked by next doors dog who got out when the gate was left open and lost a leg.
My neighbour said she would pay the vets bill but when the vet sent her the invoice, she refused and said she couldn’t afford it.

Sending love to you ❤️

ohfourfoxache · 20/09/2023 00:23

You

Fucking

WHAT??

Lizzieregina · 20/09/2023 00:23

I’m so sorry. That is just so traumatizing. Your poor little love 😥

Most insensitive, unfeeling, ignorant, callous response I have ever seen on Mnet.@Youdoyoubabe

evtheria · 20/09/2023 00:25

I am so, so, so sorry.

I know EXACTLY what you are feeling, when I was young our family cat was killed by dogs, and it is fucking horrible.
I can't believe the owner didn't come back to say anything, how awful!
💕 the photos, what a sweet face. Hoping you get many hugs tonight/tomorrow.
