Is that example from a specific story, or just a general example? Situational irony is when the situation turns out to be very different or opposite of what is expected. The cat running away is NOT opposite of what we expect. We expect a cat to run from a dog. If the dog runs away from the cat, now that's unexpected. So that would work as an example from the world of situational irony.
