Kinda interesting that Spain is surrounded by two countries with +30% cat ownership but themselves have 16%. Is there something about Spanish society that lowers cat ownership? I read a pet census (2017 tho) which seems to infer the percentage of cat lovers is even lower than this chart, with 8% of households (again 2017) having multiple cats per household creating an inflated 16% number. While Spaniards love dogs as much as anyone, interestingly birds are actually more popular than both cat or dog.
Man, anyone from Spain? I wanna hear the word on the street
I mean we love cats too. There are many stray cats but usually someone takes care of them in an altruistic way. For instance every time (and I mean every single time) I walk to uni I see the same woman feeding the same cats in the same place. Or in my town depending on the street, if you watch carefully you can see food bowls and water for cats.
Don’t know why ownership percentage is so low though. I’d say dogs are more popular, and birds probably for children.
