It comes down to a liability issue. If the cat was on your property then sure, let the neighbor know. It's their responsibility to keep their pet secure so they would have no legal recourse. If your dog got out and killed it, then probably not. They could sue you for their loss which in most cases would be the value of the cat. Tree fiddy ought to just about cover it.

Initial thought is yes, but in this day and age I'd say it depends on the neighbor. The logical way to look at it is your dog did a dog thing, the cat was on your property, and shit happens. Also, cats that live exclusively indoors have three times the life expectancy of cats that spend time outdoors, because there are all kinds of things outside that can kill a cat. Not my job to judge your neighbors, but they rolled the dice by letting Frisky roam outside and came up snake eyes.
But we do not live in logical times, and if you suspect your neighbors will go berserk over it, I'd keep my mouth shut. |

Yes. And I would expect the same response I would give, “shit! That sucks. Hey, thanks for telling me. Is their anything left to bury?”
Frazod said it. I know the risks involved with letting my cats be indoor/outdoor. Well, mostly one cat. The other one will go sit on the patio furniture once in awhile but is never out long. The other loves to hunt, be outside, meet neighbors, etc. He would be miserable if we didn’t let him go outside. As he gets older and slower, the likelihood of him getting caught by a dog, a coyote, or a car increase. If that is his end one day, so be it. Would rather that be the outcome over him withering away and suffering from depression because he had to sit indoors all day. |

Lol. But he does have a bell on his collar. Mice, chipmunks and squirrels in my neighborhood must be deaf as shit.

reminds me of our cat growing up. huge cat. Was a total outdoor cat. Once he didn't come home for like a week, then we hear him meowing in the basement window well; cat got hit by a car. So he ended up getting a new hip and pins in his legs.
This cat would leave for days at a time; constantly had gummed up fur on his back from laying under cars in the driveway / getting oil on his fur. Once i was about 3 miles away on my bicycle, and I saw him; he looked right at me and slinkered down into a storm drain. My brother was riding his bike home one evening, and came rushing inside to get a big duffle bag. He came back with the cat, and said he was fighting 3 other cats at the apartment complex down the street. We once witnessed him fighting a possum in the yard. A while later, a deer had stumbled into our yard after getting hit by a car and died, and my dad made the joke that "I"ll be damned...Snoopy bagged a deer". When he got hit by the car, my car lost one of his teeth; and so when he would yawn and close his mouth, the upper tooth that was missing would make the bottom tooth push up his upper lip by his nose....so he always had sort of a street tuff snarl / Elvis thing going on . That cat was a tough MF. Dude only came inside to sleep after he was out for a 3 or 4 day bender; and the only one who could pet him was my brother. he'd just growl at everyone else. He'd kill birds, mice, moles, rabbits...That bastard lived for like 18 years.

We've lost a few cats that snuck out over the years and that's just what happens. Our hillbilly neighbor about lost his mind about his chickens, though. He was raising them in his garage and letting them roam during the day. After he lost about a half a dozen, he called the sheriff blaming my dogs. Well, we have a Pet DeFence, so I showed the deputy and she said if Foghorn Leghorn was in my yard, he was fair game. Sure enough one ventured over and our lab got him. Called the neighbor and told them to come get the damn thing out of my yard. He sent his cousin wife over to get it. They may have had chicken soup that night, but I can't say for sure. They built a coop later, but the coyotes figured out how to get in, so no more damn chickens.
BTW, the deputy bought one for her dogs a week later. https://petdefence.com/ |
