I am just beside myself!!!

[Logan]

I am so sorry. I'm sorry you had to witness this and I'm sorry that it was one of your own who inflicted this terrible pain. I'm not sure how you go forward with your dog, but I hope you can. This is just awful. Sometimes I just wonder why I have suffered so much loss in such a short period of time, then I read something like you posted and feel like I am blessed because I had the opportunity to send them to heaven, peacefully, and didn't lose them in a tragic way. I feel selfish that I have been granted that peace of mind, at least.

Please know that you and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers. I am so sorry.

Oh my gosh, I'm so shocked and heartbroken for you. What sad news to end my day. I am so sorry you and your family.

Rest in Peace sweet Loki. You are a special PT kitty and will be missed.

This is just too sad I am so sorry for you and your family and for dear little Loki. I cannot even begin to understand how you must feel.

Rest in peace sweet baby and please let your mommy know you're OK.

I'm in shock. I'm so sorry to hear this sad news. Loki was such a handsome cat with a wonderful personality. He and Mocha have become some of my favorites here. He'll be missed but never forgotten. I wish that there was something that I could say to help comfort you during this difficult time. RIP sweet Loki. Please take care. (((HUGS)))

I am so sorry. PLEASE PLEASE dont let Duke around any more kitties.

My dog did the same thing, was raised with my kitty Kilo, and one day just turned and well... Did exactly what Duke did. BUT Kilo did not die fast

I never could trust Angel again, and I gave her to my mother. I could not even look at her the same again. Instinct on not.

I hope that Loki went fast, and that you can heal from such a tragedy

I'm sorry for your loss. I replied to your dog behavior thread too. If you do a search in this section for Dominique, you will find her story. My dogs killed her 2 year ago. Rebuilding my relationship with them came hard and took time. In the end, I had to though. Loosing them, even if it wasn't a physical loss, only added to my grief. Duke didn't mean to cause such pain; he didn't even think about that. I believe that if my dogs had thought "oh, this is gonna hurt Mom alot", they would have left Dom alone. I believe the same for Duke.

Now isn't the time and this isn't the right thread, but when you have had a bit of time and if you would like some suggestions/support from someone who has unfortunately been there too, please feel free to PM me.

Godspeed Loki.

LES. I am so sorry about Loki. I understand how you feel towards Duke at this time but that will pass. When I was a teenager I had let our dog, Buck, out and he killed our little kitten, MC, the same way. It is not something I will ever forget witnessing and the feeling of there being nothing I could do at the time. My heart goes out to you and your family. Duke could not help it, just as Buck couldn't. It is instinct to chase what moves/runs. We never had a problem with Buck after that, even though we had other cats, inside and outside(we lived in the country) so don't think that he will always be like this because that is not necessarily true, only you know how to read your dog to see if maybe something in him has changed towards cats, maybe he will only be okay around them inside as stated above(?). Again, I am so, so very sorry for your family having to experience this...prayers for your little boy to find comfort in memories of his late best friend, prayers for you to recover from what you saw and prayers for Loki to run freely chasing grasshoppers at the Rainbow Bridge.

So sorry for your loss...

Poor Dear Loki.
Duke Must Have Mistaken Him For Prey When He Ran Past.
I Hope You Realize That Sadly Duke Was Followinghis Anient Role As Hunter.
Lokis Now In Paris With The Pet Angel Army And Doesnt Blanme Duke.
You Gave Him A Wonderful Furrever Home And He Wants You Not To Be Bitter.
He Loves You And Wants You To Know That He Will See You Again And Be Reunited In Love.
One Fine Day.

[Randi]

This is so sad, and I'm so sorry for your loss. You never would have expected this to happen, so please don't blame yourself. I too don't think Duke knew who he was going for, but his instinct took over.

Loki was a gorgeous kiity and he will be missed.

Rest in Peace, sweet Loki.

((((hugs))))

OMG!!!! This is such a terrible incindent!!! It's horrible that you lost your Loki that way! Duke must have thought he was a prey or something, when he saw him running. What a tragedy!!

I'm very very sorry that you lost your heart kitty, and that you witnessed this terrible moment.

R.I.P. sweet Loki!
