[QUOTE="rejectedmom, post: 91101, member: 2315"] Yes here it is three instances of attack. I do not have a video phone nor does anyone else in the family. We are just not techy types. difficult child has no phone at all. Imagine that! LOL As far as why anyone would dispose of a dead cat I really don't know. I'm not sure how I would handle a dead cat in my yard or driveway. I always like to give people the benifit of the doubt but the meighbor in question was acting a bit weird when I last spoke to him and the dogs have not been in the yard since monday when the cat was killed. It does look like they are hiding something but without witnesses nothing can be done anyway. The one little dog is noisy but harmless. She got out shortly after they moved in and I actually found her and carried her back home. Even so she still barks and growls at me. The two big dogs on the other hand are VERY scary.
