Historically, the dog came first and the cat came afterward. However, there is no real scientific proof to back this up. The only proof that is available is that a dogs' skull was found before a cat's skull.

Dogs are believed to have been domesticated before cats. The domestication of dogs dates back tens of thousands of years, while cats were likely domesticated around 4,000 years ago in ancient Egypt.

The domestic dog first evolved about 16,000 years ago from a pack of tamed wolves. The cat was not domesticated until about 9,500 years ago. The dog came first.

If your dog is gone and the cat is fat then yes. My suggestion is to put a muzzle on the cat if you don't stab it to get the dog out first. But if you do, don't stab the stomach! :) (WOW that cat's big or the dog is mouse size!)
