This is the terrifying moment a pair of loose Rottweilers burst into a family home and kill two beloved cats, leaving the resident and her children screaming for help.
The attack happened on Wednesday, August 30, at lunchtime on a street in the suburb of Chelmsley Wood, north of Solihull in the West Midlands.
Chilling doorbell CCTV footage shows homeowner Paisley, 31, chatting happily to her orange cat Dave as she unloads groceries from her car.
She jokes with the cat: ‘Hello my beautiful boy, what have you done to your back again? I can’t afford another vet visit, Dave.’
Less than 30 seconds later, the two large black dogs can be seen running towards the door as the family screams in panic.

Paisley told it Birmingham Live: ‘They just started attacking the cats.
“I came in and followed the dogs in and they’re attacking my cats in the kitchen, they literally came to my kitchen side to drag Oreo off the side.

By the end of the traumatic attack, which left her children with nightmares, Dave was dead, while Oreo later died after vets deemed his injuries impossible to survive; the black and white cat had a broken back and severe internal bleeding.

Rottweilers are legal to own in Britain because the breed is not listed in the Dangerous Dogs Act, which banned the Japanese Tosa and the American Pitbull Terrier in 1991.
The Kennel Club says the breed ‘became very popular, often with people looking for a macho image. The breed needs responsible and intelligent owners who can harness the intelligence and activity of the Rottweiler.”
