NC for this, not really sure of purpose of post, just need to offload.
Neighbours new cat got into our house today and our greyhound has scratched or bit it whilst we were out. Our front window was like a bloodbath and when we pulled up, the cat was sitting on the windowsill inside. Looked ten times worse than it was, I though cat was dead.
Cat has since been returned to next door and is okay bar the small wound, skin hadn't been pierced from what my partner and neighbour could see. Looked worse too as cat is white. They are taking it to vet tomorrow incase needs stitched or antibiotics, partner offered us to contribute to cost if needed as cat not insured. Our friend whose a vet said it should be okay too. Neighbour was fine about situation thankfully. Seems the cat doesn't normally get out went out bedroom window and has then in turn went into our window and chaos obviously ensued. They did say they could hear commotion but then went quiet...thinking cat had been killed.
I'm now panicking about our dog. He was not a raced greyhound and we got him at a year and a half old. He is great with kids and other small dogs, only experience of cats is whilst on his lead on walks. I'm just so worried incase something like this happens again and we then get reported as bad owners/him as a dangerous dog.
I feel so upset and like the worst dog owner in the world even though we wouldn't have been able to prevent it anyway.
Partner says not to get worried over it or upset as lots dogs would react the same if a cat entered their home...yes this might be true but doesn't change what's happened.
