I am sorry for your loss but everyone is right, outdoor kitties may have more fun but they are also at risk. Where I live we have coyotes, raccoons, skunks, cars etc.... The only guarantee is to keep your next kitty indoors. As for the neighbors dogs if they are truly neglected please call your local SPCA and report them. Your call will be anonymous and hopefully the dogs will get some help. Dogs killing cats isn't abnormal nor does it make them mean, my dogs kill rats and rabbits given the change, it's prey drive, just like cats want to chase and kill birds, and mice. Depends on the dog, the breed etc. So they might not be bad dogs per say, they just have a high prey drive. My dogs will chase a cat outside, but can happily be inside the house with one, cats run outside and prey drive kicks in, it's normal animal instinct. Shame what happened to your cat. Hopefully something good will come of it.
