I am so sorry that so many of us have had this happen to our kittys. You can add me to the list. It was one of my worst days. I watched the pitbull shake my baby. Three days later he was gone. The man who owned the dog kept letting the dog run free and it kept coming in my yard. I had since gotten my dog a new baby kitty that I needed to protect. After having the dog picked up by A. Control many, many times, I took matters into my own hands. I had to protect my baby. All I can say is that kitty lived a long happy life to old age. Do what you have to do to save your own. Im so sorry for the loss of Sammy.
