I prefer cats - but you're right. dogs are normally people friendly and they like meeting new people (unlike cats)

@Pretzel The problem is that dogs often attack people in public spaces. Cats very rarely do, they will rather avoid you.

@CrazyMusicLover cats don’t attack people in public spaces cause people don’t walk their cats.
Overall a cat is way more likely to attack someone than a dog

@Zeuro No but there are many stray cats, especially in Southern Europe and I have never had any problem with any cat. People pet them and if they don't like it they rather run away than attack.
I thought that about dogs a few years back because they would always leave me alone but since the beginning of the pandemic, one dog bit me (I had to have anti-rabies shots) and at least three threatened me, barked and charged at me, one just a few days back and it absolutely ignored its owner. I didn't do anything except existing and being in the woods. They are mental.

@Zeuro There's like 5-6 stay cats per road here and I never heard of absolutely anyone in my 200k+ people city being attacked by one, unless at most some kid who was actively bothering them and learned a life lesson (quite moderate, i.e. mere scratches).
Dogs going batshit and disfiguring, mauling or even killing random people (or sometimes their own others), on the other hand, isn't exactly an unheard-of thing.
