Answer 2

This is a really sad story. When I was interning at a vet clinic when I was going to school to become a Veterinary Technician, a lady I worked with was talking about her cat Jake. He was Always an indoor cat, but started getting interested in the outdoors. So she started letting him go outside. He would always stay close, so she didn't worry too much. Well one day she was getting ready to leave for work, but couldn't find Jake. He had been out all night. But she just thought he was exploring, so she came to work. Later that day her neighbor called, she found Jake dead in her yard. Her two dogs had killed him. Jake lived with dogs, so he never had a fear of them. He probably thought the dogs wanted to play, and got too close, then he didn't know how to protect himself. When she found out she started Balling!! She felt so guilty for not looking for him before she left for work, and even deciding to let him be an outdoor cat in the first place.

My cats stay indoors because I worry that they will get attacked by a dog, hit by a car, or picked up by a sicko..

Answer 10

I watched it happen. Dogs will kill a cat. We had a deer hunting dog that I watched kill my cat and then he brought it to me like it was a present. I was completly destroyed. I was only 12.

Then my cat of 18 years was killed by my uncles pitt/bulldog mix. That was bad too. I am a huge animal lover so anything like that hurts me.

Answer 11

Yes. When I was 14 my cat was killed by the 2 german shepards who lived across the street. She would walk across the top of their fence and one day she lost her balance and fell into their yard. They tore her to pieces. It was horrible.
