I guess not
“A 2021-2022 survey conducted by the American Pet Products Association (APPA) found that 70% of households own a pet. Among the 70%, there are 69 million U.S. households that own a dog compared to 45.3 million households that own a cat.”
But more cats than dogs are adopted each year, 2.1m vs 2m, and there are 75m cats vs 70m dogs, so I guess way more cat owner have multiple cats, which makes sense since they are lower maintenance. But the household count being higher for dogs surprises me.
I’d have to see how they define “adopt”, but there are many two-timing outdoor cats that get “claimed” by multiple families/households, which would possibly influence the cats-v-owners ratio
