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.

Dramatic Irony- Irony that is inherent in speeches or a situation of a drama and is understood by the audience but not grasped by the characters in the play. Situational Irony- An outcome that turns out to be very different from what was expected, the difference between what is expected to happen and what actually does. Verbal Irony- A figure of speech in which what is said is the opposite of what is meant.
The three most common types of irony in stories are verbal irony (when a character says something but means the opposite), situational irony (when the outcome of a situation is contrary to what was expected), and dramatic irony (when the audience knows more about a situation than the characters).
