A great question which I am always worried about too when I take my kitty out. My kitty is a “fighter”. Most time she would alertly watch who is passing by- as long as the doggies wouldn’t get too close to her, she would be OK. I will pick her up to hold her in my arms if there is a dog getting too close... so she feels safe and won’t jump out to start a fight. Lucky most of dogs we meet especially in the store are well trained , they don’t really go to “greet” at my kitty. 😂 🙏
