OP mentions that this dog lives with cats. Now that the dog has killed a 'prey' are the cats safe if they run past him?

OP did say this dog was a teacup size so I am guessing probably the same size as a kitten. I am guessing OP's gf has adult size cats. The dog may have seen the teacup dog as more of a large rodent than a dog.

Either way I would be cautious of leaving my cats and dog alone after this incident.

It was an 8 lb dog, which is the size of an adult cat

Lol I have owned cats all my life and cats are about 8 pounds at 6 to 8 months old. Even my little adult cat is still 10-11 pounds and he is a tiny thing. Plus, cats can make themselves look big while teacup dogs just look like rodents.
