Dogs killed cat....

[LilSel]

My dogs killed a cat this morning (4.30am)...
It was on our property (Fully fenced etc)...
But... The dogs didnt bite it at all... I woke up when I heard rustling outside, n the dogs barking... Looked out window to investigate...
Saw both of them (<40kg dogs) ROLLING on something... I yelled at them... (prob woke whole street up)... they stopped n moved then I noticed they were rolling on a cat...

I went flying outside down the back terrace/stairs n round the side of the house... gathered the cat up in a towel... it was still alive at that stage... in shock I would imagine... checked it over... no blood... no puncture marks..

I didnt think it would survive at this stage as it was kinda stiff when I picked it up... took it inside... put into a carry cage with the towel... and placed on the steps by front door (dogs cant get to that area) next to food and water dishes with the door to the cage open (Should it want to go home if it was ok... or to go home to die)...

Got up this morning... cat was not in the cage but on the steps, dead....

Has anyone ever heard of something similar to this??...

We have 3 cats at home, and the dogs get on with them fine... they never chase them... have never hurt them... nothing like that... then... this morning... They rolled on a trespassing cat....and the result was that the cat died... I feel really stink... They have never hurt any other animals before... They are not young dogs... (6 & 8)... and have never done anything like it before.....

Why would they roll on it??!?!.... both at the same time?!?...pack mentality? (I Thought they were play fighting with each other till I saw the cat in the middle!)

If a dog wanted to attack a cat... wouldnt they just grab it?!?!...
Maybe they didnt mean to hurt the cat and just wanted to play?? *shrug*...

give them a biscuit.

i fuckin hate cats.

[crashe]

Now you have the hard task of finding the cat's owner.

Can I suggest you ring up the SPCA or your local vet and ask if they have ever heard of this happening before.... Cos I know that Haven't.

It could well be the 'pack' thing.

But someone out there is going to be missing a cat this morning.....
and they will want to bury this cat.

Maybe do a letter drop in your local area re finding the cat..

Good luck.......

[LilSel]

give them a biscuit.

i fuckin hate cats.

lol.... They dont need biscuits... They are heavy enough... !

Likely the cat was hit by a car and managed to get to your place before dying. When a dog kills it is usually ripping and shaking (esp with cats) so there'd be injuries if your dogs did it I reckon. The dogs roll on it coz of the smell. Cats have a strong (to dogs) smell.

[thatHurt]

Had a very old lab with about 2 teeth left in his head - sucked a cat to death once. Came home and found this very dead, very slobbery cat in the driveway.

Maybe the cat was already dieing and ya dogs were doing CPR?

i bet you got through a lot of peanut butter.

[Finn]

Don't ring the SCPA or try to find the owners. This may just end up backfiring in this dog hating country.

It's perfectly natural for a dog to kill a cat. It's a food chain thing.

That makes sense....

My Chihuahua has no teeth but managed to kill a Rottweiler. He got stuck in it's throat.

Boom, boom.

[Lissa]

Sounds like the cat was injured already by the time your dogs got to it. They were prob just playing with it... yea what Col said.

i bet you got through a lot of peanut butter.

yeah - and porridge

WTF are the SPCA going to do with a dead cat?...

The cat's already been disposed of...

Will ask around tonight (live in a cul de sac, so not that hard)... But we've asked around bout that cat before (cuz it was eating our cats food etc) and no-one knew who's it was.

[Finn]

WTF are the SPCA going to do with a dead cat?...

Give it to Helen Keller?

[avgas]

bummer - but just watch ya dogs for a while. My lovely dog attacked chickens, and eventually attacked some lambs - so i put it down because it had obtained a taste for blood i think.
really sad day

[outlawtorn]

find someone on your street who doesn't like motorbikes and cram the dead cat into their postbox and superglue the postbox shut!

Yeah def will keep close tabs on them...(esp as new kitten only been at home for a week!!!, Is in seperate place in the house while settling in)
They didnt get a 'taste for blood' tho... cuz they didnt bite the cat.... they just rolled on it... 'taste for rolling?'...

[LilSel]

Its already gone...
Wheelie bin I think...

[Macktheknife]

Agreed, any cat would go absolutely mental if a strange dog tried to roll on it. Besides which, the noise would have woken the whole neighbourhood if the cat was in good health when it arrived, hissing snarling and carrying on.

[Swoop]

It belongs to the local Chinese takeaways near you. They want their pet back asap, customers are waiting.

There wasnt noise from the cat... It was right out my window, n window was wide open... It was the noise from the dogs that woke me up... rolling around in long grass, sounded like they were playing with each other... *Shrug*

[KLOWN]

sounds like you have been letting your dogs watch too much ganster rap videos. They are always talking about "rolling somebody"

[LilSel]

Are you mocking the East??...
Chowick/Japaranga??... Not even ow!!!... lol...
Besides... The local takeaways are really yum.. n it couldnt be cat because its not chewy enough :bleh:

[LilSel]

lol... *shakes head*... They only watch discovery & animal planet & other educational TV.... :innocent:

[crashe]

Its already gone...

What you didnt give it a decent burial.......

Just chucked away.......

Hmmmmmmmmm how would you like it to be just chucked away in a wheelie bin when your time is up.....


That cat had feelings......


A small wee hole in the front garden......... under the flowers...... pushing up more daisies...... RIP putty tat.

I didnt do it... I was out the door on my way to work... left that to the man of the house... I dont know what happened to it... just got told... 'its gone'... so I assume... thats where it went *shrug*...

Added: I tried to save it, I did my part... I didnt get told where it went for a reason... mainly cuz I dont want to know... one of my childhood pets... died... it got buried in the jumbo bin.... (as I found out many years later)... So burying dead pets etc??... not my job... dont wanna know...

[forkoil]

I'd be amazed if the dogs didnt bite the cat, may not have punctured, but could still do big damage. May not be nice to think of. The rolly polly was fun afterwards (killer whales flipping penguins).

[Colapop]

Aint gonna be feeling nothing - it's dead.

Same as when I go - I won't give a f*ck, I'll be dead - do what you like. All this feelings BS.

[Colapop]

Chuck me in the wood chipper and make dog food outa what comes out - I won't care....

[mikey]

my doberman likes cats.
likes picking them up in his foot long mouth an shaking them til something goes click an they stop moving.
then nudging them with his paws wondering why they dont want to play anymore
then goes away licking his wounds, cats scratch.
I try to stop him, but the cat normally ends up attacking me. so i chuck the nasty useless felines back to him an say EAT THE BASTARD

[LilSel]

Mine are Alaskan Malamute (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alaskan_malamute)... and this (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_Shepard) crossed with malamute... Both are HUGE dogs... :D

[mstriumph]

.............. n it couldnt be cat because its not chewy enough :bleh:

and you'd know that ...... how?? :shifty:

[LilSel]

lol... I was talking cat...
If we're talking pussy tho... too old:sick: and sub20:sick: no thanks lol

My dog always attacks Dover when he comes over. He has trouble distinguishing between cats and pussies.

Like Finn says, just forget about the cat, it's dead already and disposed of just let the matter drift away.

You will be sorry if you try and succeed in finding the owners.

You have done nothing wrong nor have your dogs the cat was in your property.

Seriously, just forget it. John.

:yes: Yeah I shall... I know the dogs didnt do anything wrong...

Not going to bother asking again... more important things to do anyway :)

Still quite weirded out by it.... the rolling aspect esp... I was expecting to find it with half a leg or something when I got to it... but no... :mellow:

[Scouse]

and you'd know that ...... how?? :shifty:Coz she likes eating pussy

[Trudes]

No we didn't..... I would never kill a cat (not intentionally) and neither would the other one.

[KATWYN]

Cat was carrying the scent of something other than its own....Thats my thoughts.

[RiderInBlack]

My parents' Cat (Wookie, a female fixed moggie) and Dog (Patches, a Staffie X fixed bitch) were best of mates. Patches was death to possums, but never harmed a cat (we had trianed her that way). Wookie used to boss Patches around.
One week a stray Tom was hanging around and beating on Wookie (who was quite old). That happened for a couple of nights, then one day Patches got hold of the the Tom and broke it's back before we could stop her.
I think of it this way, How do ya feel when someone attacks ya mate? Well this is how Patch felt about Wookie's "Attacker", but she was not living by our Modern rules. She acted on the older "Eye for an eye" one. Still had to punnish her. The Tom, I had to put down.
She still leaves our cats alone and is bossed by them.

Why is everyone picking on Dover ? He just wants to change his address.

Because he is "Dover" I don't think he would want it any other way! :wari: :thud: John.

I disagree, I'm not fond of cats but I know plenty of people who love them like thier children, if thier cat goes missing they will worry and worry about it maybe put up posters or call the local spca etc. You should find them and let them know that you found it dead. My gf and I found a cat in the gutter on the side of the road so went knocking on all the doors until we found the owners who were very greatful that they were notified.

[Toaster]

i bet you got through a lot of peanut butter.

Must be a boy dog.... likes sucking pussy.

[Toaster]

Nice dogs. The breed explains a lot, they'll kill almost any other animal. Not a good pet if ya like having other animals about.

And FYI you do actually have a legal obligation to either find the owners or notify police/spca.

[fische]

Just fucken animals. One killed another one - big deal.

[DougB]

My friend published a book of 100 cat recipies. He says it works with possoms too. This was after I kept on trotting out the old saying "I love cats they taste just like rabbit"
Ailurophobe

I agree with that man .... not doing anything would just be taking the easy way out. If the cat wasnt a stray, the owners would be worried. No doubt the dogs "offed" the cat too (before rolling on it).

Yep, my cats are part of my Family, just the same is my dogs are, and I greive for them when they pass-away or go missing, just the same as I would for another of my Family.

[PuppetMaster]

Yeah, have to agree with this. I would just bury it and move on.
It is plausable that your dogs had nothing to do with its death. It may have been hit by a car and had internal injuries etc. But having a conscience and dobbing yourself in could turn into an ugly nightmare.

[terbang]

Cats and Dogs have never really been a great combination..!

Yep, been there done that, really UGLY situation followed, got blamed for something I didn't do.

I don't mind cats or dogs but some stupid people I could quite happily shoot. :ar15: John.

[LilSel]

lol... wow... lots of replies !!!

Mum went around n asked the neighbours etc AGAIN last night... no one knows... so not worrying about it anymore. Tried... but to no avail.
Only so much you can do!!

I listened last night n didnt hear anyone calling a cat either....:whocares:

[LilSel]

lol.... not a good pet??!?!?! :gob:
They are wonderful dogs, we have a range of other animals at home.
Usually have 3 dogs, however the eldest past a few years ago (Irish Setter).
3 cats.... A Galah, Cockatoo, 3 avaries with cockatiels, budgies, finches etc...
as well as a pond outside with 13 turtles.... and 3 big ponds with fish.
Used to have rabbits too... no probs there....

They are not dangerous/killer dogs...

The cats n dogs get along fine... and the dogs are fine with kids too.
My nephews come over all the time... no probs there... they have never attacked another animal or person ever before.
