Any healthy dog on the plus side of 20 pounds can kill an average domestic cat (we'll exclude pugs and their mutant ilk, however). Cats can be vicious and they're often able to startle/scare larger predators from a fight, but they are light, weak, and fragile compared to the musculature of dogs. Felines don't start trumping canines until the size disparity disappears.
If there's one thing I've had the misfortune of witnessing way too much of in my life, it's animals killing other animals. Claws and crazy don't mean shit when it's getting the "shake."

We had a mutt, German shepherd/husky mix that routinely killed cats without any problem. I know of at least six... Just like you said, once he got them in those jaws, it was all over.
