Last week, after getting home form a long day at VBS, I let my 6 month yorkie Douglas out and his brother shiloh (beagle mix) 10 minutes later, and letting them back out again, my duaghter said Douglas was being hurt, I ran out to find they had a cat (young, between kitten and cat age) and where chasing and "playing" with it
Shiloh grew up with our cat and wrestling with her, and I believe this is what happened with this cat (we have never had a cat enter our back yard in 6 years, and we have never seen this one before)
by the time I got the dogs back inside, and the kids sent to the room, the cat had died. She had no bite marks, just a wet back so I believe her back or neck was broke
It was very hardbreaking as I don't ever remember a time in my life growing up without cats.
Doulgas still likes to chase our cat, she has grown out of wanting to play with shiloh also, but when douglas gets after her, shiloh thinks its time to play as well
