    I personally hate any animal that poses a significant danger to me. So as much as I hate caracals, tigers, etc while loving cats, I hate large dogs that are aggressive, are able to kill me and if they decide to do so, I wouldn’t have too much of a defense against them. Anything else is fine by me.

      A cat could kill you, easily. They literally have razor sharp claws in all their legs, a well placed puncture or even an infected cut could endanger your life. Cats have, rarely, killed babies. They are literally mostly carnivore tiny tigers who kill for a living.

          Cats prefer warm meat, so if you die and they are hungry they are multiple times more likely to start eating you immediately.

          Dogs at least will wait until its a survival issue.
