Hi elaineb... You have been very helpfull as has all who have replied... We owe you all a beer or 3.

I agree with the others, sounds like a tragic accident.

Perhaps write your neighbours a letter instead of seeing them at the moment?

Awww I know they are grieving at the moment and it was not a nice way too see your pet die.

I am sure in a few days they may be a little more understanding I hope they are.

It is as traumatic for you as it was your dog that did the deed and not a nice thing too have too deal with either. I would be mortified in either situation. (((Hugs))).

ewww don't do beer, but a voddy would go down nicley glad to be of help. don't worry too much.

Sorry to hear this It was an accident.......

*Hugs* To all involved x

I would suggest not going to see the Cats owner at present, I would however write to them expressing your sadness at the loss of their pet and how it was a total accident. Send it recorded delivery and keep a copy. You can say much more on paper than face to face with angry and upset owners.

I understand totally how the Cats owner must feel, if it were me Id be horrified and dreadfully upset. However, Im certain that given a day or so they will realise what happened was an accident and nothing more and that you are just as sorry as they are.

Bottle on its way.... one day!

Obviously it is a horrible situation, but I know many years ago my cat got killed in exactly the same way, and the police and RSPCA etc said that there was nothing I could do, in fact the reply I got was cats chase mice, dogs chase cats, thats sadly life, at the time I was furious, heartbroken and frustrated. although the owner of the dog did come see our family and apologise and I could see it was as hard on him as it was on us that his dog had done such a thing. I will be honest if he hadnt come round and I saw how distressed he was I would have been more annoyed thinking they didnt care their dog had klilled our cat.
