Dog killed one of our kittens

[sasvermont]

Gosh, you must have been horrified. We all make mistakes in judgment from time to time. I guess what the others have said, about never leaving the dogs alone with the kittens is a good idea.

I leave my dog alone with my three cats and every time I do that, when I return, I am prepared to see damage to either the dog or one of the cats. I don't think they would ever kill one another but the cats go after the dog from time to time and the dog fights back. I think it is fairly common..... My cats fight with each other too.......

Lesson learned for you, I am sure.

Sorry, I'm sure you were/are upset. It sounds as if you were doing all the right things. From now on though, I would not leave them in the same area unless you're present. It was good of you to take the cat in. If you hadnt, she would have had those kittens in the cornfield or woods. You did good.
