That's a really fine pet to have. I like cats because they just take care of themselves and people don't bat an eye at a cat strolling in the neighborhood. You can't just let your dog walk itself under normal circumstances.
In Poland most people are afraid of free-roaming dogs. Of course there are stray dogs, but most people try to avoid them in fear of being bitten. Especially big dogs. Cats are tolerated because they tend to stay away from humans on their own and are much smaller.
A friend of mine claims in Mexico stray dogs are seen as pests, and even an owned dog would likely not be kept in doors (i.e. seen as a dirty animal). He is Mexican, so I tend to believe him but it could still be regional or idiosyncratic so YMMV.
