I went and apologized to the wife of the family who owns the cat. No one else was home. I really do feel bad about the the whole situation and she could tell I meant everything I said. She was understanding and thankful for me coming over and apologizing. The real challenge will be the husband because he was way more upset when it happened. I gave them my phone number and told her if there is anything I can do let me know.

Before this, I called the local pet control and they said the best thing you can try to do is make amends with the neighbor. It seems like to me there is no law about putting the dog down for killing a cat. I'm sure I'll hear back from them at some point because the neighbor did report it last night.

Good to hear, at the end of day the most important opinions about this are your neighbours not ours. They also could have been much more upset by the intial shock so are now more understanding and open to forgiving.  I didn't think the dog would be put down over this especially if it was first time anything like this has happened so that's good to hear that it seems very unlikely he will be.
