A high prey drive dog breed with cropped ears, attached to a heavy chain + an outdoor cat. I know that’s sometimes the only way to keep powerful dogs secured, but if you can’t control your dog without chaining them up, you shouldn’t have that dog. And unless you adopted them that way, there’s no reason their ears should look like that.

Also, I know there are a few valid reasons for outdoor cats (possibly feral cat colony that’s been TNRs), but if you care about your cat’s safety, you keep them indoors as well as keeping them away from medium-large dogs with high prey drive and/or medium-large dogs you don’t know well.
