Yeah, but the difference is if you have a 90 lb. German Shepherd, (which is as big as they generally get), and a 90 lb. cougar (which is on the small side), the cat is way more lethal.

And actually the animal that causes the most deaths in the U.S. is neither dog nor cat, but astoundingly bees/wasps!
Even more deaths than humans?

Don't they eat dogs in some parts of the world.
Best keep them safe inside your house ... just in
case the neighbour wants a snack ;)
We've already established cats make a good stew, but only if they're young and the gravy isn't beef. lol

Bad joke time:

I knew something was wrong when my new Korean neighbor kept asking me over and over if he could walk (wok) my dog. I can't find my dog anyplace.

beside the danger to humans, cats don't go around killing other peoples pets or chewing up and spreading the neighbors garbage all over four yards.

i wouldn't be surprised if when you all look it up, your cities actually have leash laws for cats too though. they're just rarely enforced, and my guess is the only reason they are on the books is disgruntled dog owners angrily voicing complaints at city council meetings. the last two cities i've lived in had such laws. i live in the county now though.

dogs on the loose are dangerous. cats, not so much. it bugs me when i see dogs with collars roaming around my neighborhood - especially since i have cats, and there are feral cats roaming around here too. it makes me think their owners are irresponsible.
We often found squirrel tails in the back yard regularly. Once it was just the squirrel's head. (I have never figured out which is more disgusting -- that my cat ate squirrel's heads and the rest of the body and bones or that it ate a squirrel's tail?) We discovered we had a family of rabbits in the backyard the hard way. We counted four babies that were killed by their tails. I'm not sure if Momma got away considering I saw a clump of fur, but no skin. I had a mouse-brown shag rug in my room in college. It was summertime, so I was barefoot. I know it was mouse-brown because it perfectly matched the dead mouse I stepped on. And, I wasn't kidding. Our cat did bring in a live sparrow once. Took us 45 minutes of chasing both the cat (to get him away from chasing his prey) and chasing the sparrow until it figured out where the door was.

Cats -- dangerous for other pets or wildlife. (Dangerous for legs too, if he/she wants to climb up you when you're standing.)

Someone gave hubby's first wife a kitten and she took it home. (She wore dresses, unlike me.) First the cat puked and pooped out what seemed to be a full can of baked beans. (I know. Weird. But then our cat's favorite food was spaghetti sauce.) Then it raced around the house. And then it raced up her bare legs by circling around the leg like a squirrel around a tree.

And then the cat was tossed outside never to be seen or heard from again.

Then, in autumn, they got another kitten. They named him Tiger. As a kitten, one of their neighbor's hunting dog attacked Tiger in Tiger's yard. He had several puncture marks over his body and was in pretty bad shape, but they never contacted the dog's owner about the incident. That's what cats and dogs do, right?

Tiger was an outdoors cat, and spent most the first winter learning how to take care of himself and protecting his territory.

By spring, Tiger was a huge cat, all muscles and weighed about 20 pounds. The neighbor with that dog came by and showed future-hubby the damage Tiger did to his dog. Future-hubby told him it's a very good reason to keep his dog tied up in the backyard. Tigers territory was his yard.

My thought is no one ever wants to admit their dog got attacked and beaten by a mere cat. lol

It was talking about direct animal deaths. The results didn't show humans. And by direct it means it wasn't talking about the many deaths by car accidents caused by deer.
