A further disturbing clip captured her traumatised children’s blood-curdling screams while Paisley can be heard shouting: “Get off my cat, get off my cat.” Dave was killed instantly in the attack while Oreo was rushed to a vets with severe injuries where he had to be put down.
Paisley said the Rotweillers had attacked and killed another dog on a driveway just five minutes before savaging her beloved cats to death. Full-time mum Paisley said: “It was just awful. The impact on the children has been horrible. It has broken their hearts.

“Luckily I had crated them at the time because the dogs were trying to get them too. But now when Elsie or Woody bark it acts as a trigger for the kids. When they see a big dog on the way to school, they are scared.
“I don’t blame the dogs as such, some dogs will attack cats, but the owners have showed no remorse or accountability for what happened. And its not the first time this has happened. They have escaped before and the owners need to accept some responsibility.

Video footage from a Ring doorbell camera shows ginger cat Dave greeting Paisley as she arrived home from shopping at Asda. Paisley unlocks the front door and says to Dave: “Hello my beautiful boy, what have you done to your back again? I can’t afford another vet trip Dave.”
But as Paisley’s goes to unload the shopping, both dogs charge into the house through the open door. Paisley added: “They just came out of nowhere. My 11-year-old has autism and Dave was his cat. He was inside at the time.

Hide Ad“The next thing I know I run into the kitchen and there’s a scene of what I can only describe as absolute carnage. They just started attacking the cats.
“They dragged Oreo off the kitchen side and pinned him against the fridge. I tried to stop them but they were too big. They were trying to get my Chihuahuas through the cage. I won’t even take them for a walk anymore, its just not safe for them.
“We don’t know whether Dave died from internal bleeding or in shock. I was screaming for help my neighbours but by the time she came round the dogs had gone and ran off.

“If it was me I’d be mortified and remorseful. I’d want to help in some way but those dogs are still there and could get out again.”
West Midlands Police confirmed they were called to reports of two dogs attacking another dog before it later emerged Paisley’s cats had been kiiled.
