I am sorry for your loss. I have been through this once with a foster I had that killed one of my own cats (my very first cat). This was absolutely unprovoked and heartbreaking for me.
I do not accept dogs now in my home as fosters if they show any signs of prey drive. In fact, I do not accept animals that kill other animals at all.
Your neighbour should pay you for damages (at least the $$ for the cremation of your cat). I personally would not be silent about your pain and suffering not to mention the cats.
The dogs obviously are neglected. If these dogs are in your opinion neglected and/or abused - contact the authorities.
I really don't know what to tell you. It is a very disheartening situation and that is why so many people do not let their pets outside. I know that this was not intentional on your part, but this is an unfortunate outcome to so many cats that are allowed to venture off on their own. This dog was only one of many preditors out there for outdoor cats.
Again, my condolences.
