A dog killed my cat

I guess I’m not asking for advice, just kind of grieving?? Idk why I’m writing this. Anyway, I had a cat that I ABSOLUTELY adored. My coworker asked me to dogsit his husky for the weekend and I kept her separated from my cats because they’re pretty small. I moved the litter box and I think my cat was stressed out and I woke up to a bed full of cat piss and shit and I was SO angry. I didn’t hurt her or anything, but I was just so upset with her and while I was getting stuff to clean my bed, I didn’t completely close the door I guess. The dog came in and grabbed my cat like a chew toy and broke her legs and it took me SO long to separate them and I thought she was definitely injured but was also just stunned. And then she started twitching and I immediately took her to my car to get her to a vet and she died in my car. Someone came and took the dog but I just am so angry at myself for being mad at her earlier. I’m so heartbroken. I’m in the military and I called some people and they came and helped me and just sat with me and stuff, but my leadership said they feel more bad for the kid that owns the dog and that I shouldn’t ask him to pay for her cremation. I’m not mad at him, nobody intended for this to happen. I’m not mad at the dog either, I’m just upset about the situation. And they called me and instead of saying like “do you need anything” they said “you shouldn’t take this to legal and don’t forget that he’s upset too so you should apologize and acknowledge that it’s not his fault” and I KNOW it’s not his fault, I just wouldn’t answer his calls because I just wasn’t really in the mood to hear from anyone. I told him I needed time and that I am not upset with him. Why are they making this my fault?? I don’t understand. Sorry for the rant. I’m just so fucking sad and idk what to do I guess
