SOUTH OGDEN — Police are unsure who owns a pit bull that ran into a house Saturday and mauled a cat so badly it had to be euthanized.

Cat owners say their 13-year-old tabby Milo lost its teeth and several back claws, then bled severely throughout the room where it was attacked around 12:30 p.m., before he could be separated from the dog.

A veterinarian could not save the cat, and Milo had to be euthanized.

The House Human Services Committee gave a favorable recommendation late Wednesday to HB 381, which creates provisions to arbitrate cases involving a dog bite. The bill imposes an arbitration award limit of $50,000.

The bill is sponsored by Rep. Lavar Christensen, R-Draper, and now moves to the House for further consideration.

OGDEN -- City officials hope proposed changes in the animal ordinance will curb dog bites without targeting specific breeds.

The city council is considering amendments to the animal control ordinance that would change registration requirements for what the city determines to be a dangerous dog, establishes additional insurance requirements for dogs that are unaltered -- meaning not spayed or neutered -- and increases fees for dangerous dogs and unaltered dogs and cats.
