Our cat was in THEIR yard. She was out in their pasture chasing mice probably, and when she saw us getting in our car she came running to us and the dog grabbed her before she got to the fence. It is all my fault

Their dogs have got out before when they first moved in and I had a fit about it, they killed all our chickens. (They have 2 labs, as well as this pitbull) We talked to them and told them we have children and small dogs and that could just never happen again. We filed a report on them as well. They are actually very nice people and they paid my husband for the chickens and such. They installed electric fencing all around their property and fixed all the fencing. The dogs have never been out again. I am torn about what to do about this pitbull. He always attacks the fence at my dogs and this just proves to me that he really will attack other animals. I don't believe in punishing a dog for doing what's natural to them, but I really am scared from what I witnessed today. The dog tore our cat apart, what if Tinkerbell or Chloe ever get out?

We are going to go to Michael's today and buy one of those kits to make a memorial stone. I think that will help.

Thanks everyone.
