I was actually agreeing with you sred. I understood that the lying was what made you mad. I also understood you said you didnt find the dog at fault for killing the cat in their yard. I didn't want to come off as being mean or making you think you're a bad mother or "off". I saw some pretty mutilated pets as a child, and those images have stayed with me for life. My main concern was the children being exposed to the gore and stench of a two day dead dog killed cat. But you're right, it is your business. However, you asked for advice on what you should do about the neighbors who wont give your dead cat back, and mine was to not get the cat back, and I explained why. Sorry I made ya mad, I didnt mean to. I'll step out of this debate.
