Not much about attacking cats and nothing said about the penalties for such acts of dogs attacking cats.

all depends how and where

A court could also decide that your dog is dangerously out of control if:

• it injures someone’s animal​

That will be about right,a fella is having a near heart attack his dog gets off it's lead and rags a cat which is loose under a car and the heart attack victim gets a call and a threat of having his one and only animal pts,when the cat owner should have his ear slapped for letting the cat loose anyway as not only is it a pest to all the young birds fledging this time of year if it had bolted from under the car across the road a car could swerve to miss it and all sorts happen.Well f**k the cat and the dog warden and hope your ok Jasper and give the naughty little rascal terrier a treat,is what i say
