So sorry Marty!!! Those dogs need to go - one way or the other!!

I'm sorry Marty - we lost a big black kitty the same way several years ago only it was to our own Jack Russells. I found him in the middle of the dogs just like you did, grabbed him (and got dog bit for my trouble) and started to the vet, but he didn't make it a mile down the road.

Marty so very sorry to hear about Kitty.

I had a neighbor dog years ago that would come over and kill chickens. Another neighbor came by one evening and said they knew where the dog lives and had even taken the owner behind their house and showed them the pile of bird the dog had by her dog house. They never came to see me--to apologize nothing. The neighbors that reported her to me gave me the owner's address and everything. I called animal control told them she was killing livestock and where to dog lived. They went and got her and I went to verify it was her (had photos of her in the pasture) and signed a complaint. That complaint marked her as "VICIOUS-LIVESTOCK KILLER" and even if her owners had come to claim her she would not have been returned nor could she be adopted. She was humanly euthanized. I would not have done this except for she was a dog in excellent weight and she was doing this for sport not because she was starving--if that was the case I would not have signed a complaint as a killer--I can't hold a dog responsible if it it starving to death--BUT I SURE COULD HOLD THE OWNER in that case.

I would either have the dogs picked up or if on my property capture them. Take them to the local animal control and sign a vicious dog complaint--doubt if the owner could recover the animal and they might even have to pay resitution for what they destroyed. Our animal shelter is overseen by the Police Department so when that complaint is signed it could start legal problems for the owners--especially in the event of property or livestock damage.
 
I'm so sorry. (((HUGS)))) I lost my mothers cat (she is in a nursing home and they live with me) also named Sweetie on Monday. So I know how the heart aches.

The dogs need to be taken care of. I think its time to go to the authority's, whomever that is where you live.
 
I am so sorry to hear about your kitty! I just watched that video not too long ago and she seemed like the sweetest cat!

I agree though, the owner of these dogs needs to be reported because for them to be running loose like that another animal or a person is going to get hurt by them. Shame on their owner for allowing them to run free like that...it is just not right!

Thank you for all your condolences. I'm still so very upset about loosing this little girl and miss her so much already. She was my special one, a tiny one who never really grew too much, who never ate cat food like the others because I spoiled her. She always came to the back door for Oscar Myer ham every day. Bologna nope. Had to be ham. And I had to hand feed her, not in a dish. In the winter, I'd make her a special warm ham caserole. I never thought her end would happen so violently like this it was gut wrenching for me to cradle her in a blanket and try to save her. I had to break the news to Dan late last night and he was besides himself of course wanting justice with those dogs as you could imagine his wrath this was his baby too. He's the ultimate cat lover as was Michael, the ones that started bringing home all these pregnant stray cats since they were little guys.

So here's the boat I'm in and what I plan to do now.

I can't blame the dogs. It is their nature I guess to be like that. I blame the owner for not being a responsible dog owner and keeping the dogs confined to her property. It is not like she has not had fair warning from me for the past two years. I showed her one day where I got bit by her dog and she wasn't even fased. I too have one very old dog that can be classified as "vicious" and by golly, we have gone the extra mile for years, every single day to be responsible that he never leave our property and stray, not for a minute, we always have him under control. So my issue is with the owner who is irresponsible.

We have no one to report this incident to. No Animal Control or anything like that in this county.No ordinances. Nothing. Only the looser sheriff who would laugh and poo poo the situation. I also cannot start up any problems with that family as we have to live here in harmony. BUTT! I have had it with these dogs and I am done with them causing grief here. I have checked the state laws which says I can capture them on my property as strays and that is my plan next time they come here. I will not harm these dogs even after what they have done, but I can get them to a facility elsewhere with a big note of warning saying they kill cats and maybe someone will adopt them and take responsibility.

Thank you again for your kind words.
 
I'm so sorry Marty. What a dreadful experience for you and your poor defenseless cat.

I agree with your approach 100%!!! Darn it, you have a right to keep strays off your property!
 
Marty, that is just crazy that you have no recourse to protect your livestock, your SELF or anything else from stray dogs!! That's just nuts.

I agree then and I would not take them to your local shelter... I would take them as far away as you possibly can so they are not going to get their dogs back- and then just use the last 'S'- shut up. Hey, have you seen my dogs? Nope, not lately!!
 
I'm so sorry for your loss....

 

I'm an animal LOVER myself and don't wish any harm to come to the dogs. But under the circumstances I'd have to say your being much kinder about this than I would possibly be.

 

I respect you for your strength and being concerned about what will come of the dogs even after what they've done to your beloved cat. Your a very kind hearted person.... and you deserve a big KUDOS for you compassion. One again, I'm so terribly sorry.

second- you really do have alot of compassion to feel concern for those dogs. and I envy you being able to feel that way. I'm sure if I were in your situation to be honest it would be the big SSS for me
 
I haven’t been on the back porch in a few days so missed this thread until now. I’m so sorry to hear about your poor kitty—I’m very sad that she had to go this way.

I haven’t read beyond the first page yet—will have to go back & read the rest after I post this…I have to say, though, for me it doesn’t matter that your cat was just off your property, it sounds like the dogs were also off of their property. It would be one thing if they killed a cat that came into their own yard, but it’s completely unacceptable for them to go roaming & kill any animal they come across. Shame on their owner.

I’m afraid that if I were in your place, after all the problems these dogs have caused you, they would have disappeared long before they got hold of kitty. If they weren’t gone already, they would be now, that would be the final straw for me! There are ways for dogs like this to disappear! Permanently. SSS, or some variety of it, works very well. And if anyone comes asking about the dogs, nope, never saw them, haven’t seen them around in ages!
