Council is investigating after two cats were mauled to death by dogs at a home in Mudgeeraba this morning.

A resident along Wallaby Drive initially took to the local Facebook group ‘Mudgeerabarbarians’ to warn that two staffies were spotted around her property between 5.00am and 6.00am and were headed west.

“Warning Two staffies have just murdered my cat on wallaby drive and headed west,” the post reads.

It sparked an enormous response from the group’s members, with the comments eventually turned off.

The woman’s daughter was one of the comments – trying to provide some more information, and saying her mum was ‘utterly devastated’.

“My mum is still crying ? she is not good with social media and was trying to warn others. She’s utterly devastated. It was around 4-5am. They tried to get our chickens too. Luckily they couldn’t get in.

“I think these dogs are dangerous but we didn’t get photos. We just saw them running around. It all happened so quickly. She has been trying to cope with burying the animals and they are my brother and sister cats originally. We are worried what else they will do to any other animals.

“Please let us know if you heard any dogs roaming in Wallaby Drive area. We are concerned and devastated. It all happened so quickly. They had been with us for 14 years,” her comment reads.

A short time later, the same resident posted again that her second cat’s body had also been found.

“Just found my second cats body I feel such despair,” the second post reads.

Council has since confirmed with myGC that they’re investigating.

“Council has been made aware of an incident involving an alleged dog attack in Mudgeeraba overnight. City of Gold Coast officers are currently investigating,” a Council spokesperson said.
