Cat was attacked tonight by a dog and left for dead by the dogs owner.
I heard a commotion and saw him pulling the dog away where i said.. I hope that wasn't my cat? He said 'No'
I couldn't settle and went to see where i found her 2 doors away in a very bad state. Shes now in the vets with extreme shock and a puncture on her left side. Were unsure she will make the night.
I feel violently sick and have posted a note through the dog owners door to say it was my cat and i was taking her to the vets because he had gone out.
I hope she pulls through. Shes 14.

Oh gosh that so dreadful ! I do hope she recovers - if not get some guys round to give him the same treatment ! That said I would be very tempted to get the guys round anyway the inconsiderate B ! For letting it happen in the first place ! Thinking of you and your cat x |

This dog is something like a lurcher that is taken out lamping late at night. Thats where they were going. Im disappointed that he said it wasnt my cat when it was.
Im just so glad i went out to look for mine. Had i of left it trusting his answer then she would of been dead by now.
Im expecting the dreaded bad news sometime during the night. I will keep you posted. |

Oh no, we have three and I would be in pieces. Two of mine have been through horrific accidents and the vets have got them through ... one with a smashed jaw. I think you should report it too. He needs to have more control of his dog and I would not necessarily trust it, or him, around children. |

Your poor cat, Feelings are with you ...
You should report it to the police though.

Unfortunately she is being put to sleep. Her injuries are to much. The dog has broken her chest bones, shes in severe pain and shes got a big infection from the wounds. Lots of other things too.
Hardest decision ive had to make but it would be cruel to keep her in pain. |

My condolences. That's a dreadful decision to have to make at the end of such an awful experience. I'd be in pieces.
The dog owner should definitely be held to account. His dog sounds dangerous and he clearly can't control it. |

Awful. I have a cat and it doesn't bare thinking about. Our pets are like part of the family.You are doing the right thing for your cat even though it must be heartbreaking. I really feel for you. Sorry you didn't get better news. Big virtual hugs.

There dog/s are only there for one reason. They live outside 24/7 in custom built kennels. The dog has done what hes there to do.
I know that doesn't make it right and I'm heart broken. His partner is devastated too. I could report it, have the police round, get his dog put to sleep or whatever which will only lead to further trouble and problems.
I really do not know what to do. |

Maybe you could ring the local station to ask for advice and guidance? |

Dog destroyed?! 
For doing as it's trained to?
NO. It's the owner in the wrong, not the dog.  |

The dog isn't there to kill people's pets and it's the owners responsibility to ensure he doesn't.
I'd report it without a second thought.
If it will attack a cat, what else might it do? The owner needs to be shown he has to control his animals in public. If he can't, he shouldn't be allowed to keep them. |

Hand them the vets bill. Doesn't bring her back. But not far you lose her and get whacked in the pocket as well.  |

I'm not sure they would have to put the Dog to sleep, but they may fine the owner, ask the RSPCA for advice, they will get involved because of the owners cruelty towards you Cat.x |

im sorry for what has happened as the owner should have kept it under better control
from your comment alone id leave it alone as the animals are natural enemies
the partner to the owner may have a little more to say about it

That is the easiest choice for me - I hate seeing animals put through too much pain and sometimes the kindest thing to do is stop it.
Report the dog for sure, 'without malice' if you will, but there is a due process which needs to be followed here IMO, it sounds like this may be a dangerous dog. |

I have to say I completely agree with this.

I can understand your reservations of whether to report it or not, but who knows how many it has already maimed and and no one reported them.
You could stop another owner having to go through what you are right now. |

 This
If the dog has done it once, it may do it again.
I'm so sorry to hear of what you and your kitty have gone through. |

Sorry to read your news, not sure on law for cats but I agree it should be reported. I would put the invoice through his door too. Totally selfish of him.

I would definitely be seeking the dog owner to pay vet bill's.
Report him and dog to the police.
Next time it could be a child not a cat once a dog gets a taste for blood they want more.
Very sorry for your loss.
Rip kitty.
We have just got a second one after losing our boy lastyear.
The other cat is less than impressed with the kitten! |

This. I reported a neighbour's dog and the police said they'd had a few similar reports but no-one would push to take them to court so their hands (police) were tied and they couldn't do anything.
I made sure it went to court. Didn't want a child to be the next victim. |

I have sympathy and understand how it feels, my small dog has been attacked and hospitalised twice while on a lead by dogs let to run free by inconsiderate owners, its not the dogs fault. But if you're going to let your cats out they will also kill things, and you have to be prepared for something like this or possibly to be run over, its a choice and chance you take. Best wishes anyway |

Sorry to hear of your loss Lilmiss, it is a very hard decision to make but you made the right one. I'd be gutted if anything like that happened to either of my boys.
Can't believe the audacity of the owner though denying it wasn't your cat, I'm unsure what I'd do in your situation but my knee jerk one would be to report it. If only the dog had been made to wear a muzzle.
Sleep well moggy, hugs for you lilmiss x |
