Case in point: if I drive my car, statistically I have a non-zero chance of hitting and harming someone. After all, over 30,000 people are so harmed in this country every year. Even though there is a risk of harm, that does not make "driving my car" immoral. It would become immoral if I got behind the wheel of my car KNOWING that I was incapacitated and severely increasing the probability, or if I got behind the wheel intending to harm someone with my vehicle.
I have no idea how a cat/dog story can apply to morality since, as far as I know, neither species is capable of moralizing.
