This question if difficult to answer because there are many stray cats and dogs which are not able to be counted. However, counting domestic animals, there are about 400 million dogs in the world, compared to 220 million cats.

It is estimated that there are more domestic cats in the world than dogs, with a population of over 94 million cats compared to around 89 million dogs. However, this varies by region and is subject to change due to factors like breeding practices and cultural preferences.

∙ 14y agoI know in Australia in 2005 there were roughly equal numbers of cats and dogs admitted to shelters. Having said that, 40% of dogs are reclaimed by their owners as they are "lost", whereas only 4% of cats were reclaimed by owners!
So there are probably roughly equal numbers of temporarily homeless animals that get lost, but FAR more cats that are permanently "homeless".
This is largely due to partially owned animals - i.e. people who feed "homeless" cats but never take proper ownership and responsibility for these cats. Cats are far more independent than dogs, and therefore people are less likely to take them into their homes and make them part of their family.
Cats have a 3 month pregnancy, which means they can potentially give birth 4 times a year with 1 to 8 kittens per litter! This equates to a lot of "homeless" cats adding to the equation every single year!
So, this is the answer for Australia, but as for the rest of the world you will have to leave that for someone else to answer! :)
