We have three outdoor cats whick we had for over 12yrs. Today, out cats were viciously attacked by two loose dogs and were mauled and killed. What, if anything, can the dog owners be liable for? Do we have a lawsuit?

lawsuit?
your cats were loose, and their dogs were loose.
I am sorry for your loss, but I personally don't think there should be a lawsuit.
....but then again I think there are way too many lawsuits
Also I have had a cat attack my dog on my property- I think the laws should be the same for cats and dogs

Feeling upset about this? I can understand.
Lawsuit? No
Yes the dogs should have been on a leash, BUT...your cats should have been safely kept in your home. Don't go on your emotions, a lawsuit sounds just plain silly... Life is tough and not fair, that is just the way it is, a lawsuit will not bring your cats back to life. A lawsuit will just drag on and on and remind you of how your cats died and not the happy memories you had with them... Think about this one seriously.

If your cats were out of your yard, then you are just as responsible for the cats being killed by the loose dogs. If they were on your property, then yes you have grounds for a law suit.
Our dog is like Alamo`s dog. She has been bitten and scratched several times by cats that come in our backyard. and it has a 8 foot wood fence.

you're allowed to maintain a dogs or you're actually not. while you're allowed a dogs, this rule can not be replaced over nighttime. Your dogs became protecting the valuables against an interloper. Trespass is a huge deal in a canines international. It has no considered length and observed this dogs as of venture to you and it relatively is residing house.it relatively is no longer accountable of any crime. Your neighbour left her dogs unattended. this is criminal. you will desire to truly sue your neighbour for all the strain led to by utilising this negligence. you're able to get something from the police to offer the owner to maintain time. Failing that, even a adverse solicitor or criminal expert would desire to variety this for you.
