So you knew it could happen and basically said f*CK it the cats on his own. Honestly I was going to give you ideas that would help but you don't deserve pets
Should honestly have his animals removed from his home. They clearly aren’t safe.

So first up - try to keep food off the floor.
But immediately when it happens shut that growling down. You let the old one go unchecked and now both think it’s acceptable to growl/bark/and now bite. Old girl needs to be told you are the boss and that won’t be flying, instead of this laid back letting them escalate and it going over the line.
I know. What sucks is all of the food drops have been accidental by the kids.

Are you 100% positively sure old girl killed the cat?
Posted on 6/17/21 at 7:04 pm to SOSFAN
I’m starting to think this is all an elaborate plot by the young dog to take total control. Bet young dog killed the cat too.
She even convinced you to ditch old dog. She’s playing chess and she’s two steps ahead.

Sounds like you have a sloppiness with food problem.

Yeah, OP doesn't understand animal behavior at all. Shouldn't own pets period. Not their fault. They're like kids and you have to make them understand right from wrong. Not that hard if you're willing to take the time. Letting them do whatever they want is eventually just going to make them think they're an alpha of the pack.

So now the man of the house is blaming the kids. Again DOGS SHOULDN'T BE AROUND the dinner table. They are pack animals and acting with instinct. Even in the wild a Alpha wolf would shut the infighting down asap. You're not a Alpha.

I don’t understand why food is always on your floor.
You better not get rid of the senior dog. If you do, you’re a sorry arse pet parent.
Imagine how “grouchy old girl” would feel when you dumped her off in some strange environment to live out the rest of her years.
You should be able to discipline the dogs and prevent this from occurring in the future.

I’m not going to fault the dogs. You are the pack leader and you must make it known to both of them that they are allowed in your home because you are the boss.
You seriously have to put in some time and dominate both dogs each day. It’s better if you do this while both dogs are present and dominate each one while other is watching. Use verbal commands to back the other dog away if they try to stand over the dominanted dog. Back! Back! Back! Use simple commands.
Lay them down on their sides, and put your hands on top of them. If they believe they are alpha, they will struggle with you and try to get up. They harder they struggle, the more you must hold them down. If they get feisty with you you will get your answer. Lay on top of them if you must but you must be the Alpha in your house. If they have any brain cells at all they will submit. Will take a few days but you will see progress. Minimum 5 minutes of domination every day. They will get the hint.
A submissive dog will not struggle with you during this process. As they relax, you do also until it takes just your palm to get them to submit. You will literally feel it in their body when they do submit.
Add in an autistic child to the mix and you’ve got some ticking time bombs that either will learn or you’ll figure out who doesn’t want to be part of the pack.
Also never let your dogs around while you eat. That’s master dominance 101.
Good luck!

That’s where you draw the line? His gross negligence has already had the family cat likely live in fear it’s entire life in the presence of the undisciplined and untrained bitch until the bitch finally killed the poor creature. Too little too late.

I wouldn’t have a dog that killed my cat around my kids. It’s one thing to kill a squirrel or some type of pest, but a long term house cat is very different. That dog could go off and attack your boy, especially if he gets near the fighting. The young dog is protecting him

Well frick, stop putting your dogs in situations to fight over food first of all.
Posted on 6/17/21 at 7:19 pm to Sneaky__Sally
Put both dogs down and buy two new ones.

I'm not going to insult you like others but let me offer you some straight advice. The very first time something in your house kills something else in your house, it should be out of the house immediately and put down. You can say the same about people. The young dog was scarred because the Alpha (you) did absolutely nothing when you got there. 9 years or nine days that dog gets dragged outside and put down or put outside and a vet or what not called to come put it to sleep.
Since you didn't act, the youngest one has. Darwin might not be 100 correct but it really is survival of the fittest. It's established it isn't going to sit back and take it. The oldest one has established it can attack and kill without consequence. How long until it's your wife or kids it attacks?
YOU KNOW WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE. You don't need a bunch of strangers to try and convince you it doesn't need to happen because responsible pet owners aren't going to tell you differently. I know it's hard to lose a pet especially one after a long time, but as a parent and husband you have one really major responsibility that far exceeds anything pet related. That's the safety of your Spouse and Kids.

It's going to happen and I bet he has already been growled or snapped at. If the cat getting slaughtered in the den didn't make him do anything then asking for advice on here is a waste. He obviously has never spent time training them nor establishing that he is the Alpha.

You’re the biggest idiot and piece of shite ever. Sid you not research or use any brainpower whatsoever to figure out that Huskies DO NOT get along with cats, there is literature all over the place warning of this issue.
Now you want to “rehome” a dog you’ve had 9 years because you had to get a cute lab mix puppy for the family . You’re a fricking clown
Yeah thanks for the encouragement. No we admittingly did not because my wife and I grew up with dogs and cats and never had issues with a family dog mauling a family cat. We didn't realize huskies were this way until we found her playing really rough with the cat and looked it up years ago but we rescued her when she was 2 and didn't want her getting rehomed again, the cat mostly stuck up for himself but that day he lost.
The first step, and I'm not being a dick, is recognizing that you / your family's own behavior is a big part of the problem. A dog is following its instinct, some are overly aggressive in situations but you aren't doing anything to help the situation.
