August 8th is International Cat Day! 🐈🗓️
Over the last decade, more and more people have fallen in love with the purry furballs we all know- and we have the fun stats to share!
In 2006, an estimated 16.7% of US households had a feline. 20 years later that number has soared to an estimated 35% of US homes owning a cat. Us Washingtonians are above average when it comes to our love for cats as 37% of residents in the state have at least one cat. Among the US as a whole, single-kitty homes have actually decreased down to 58% as cat owners realize they can't have just one. Households with 3+ feline companions has risen by 36% just since 2018!
Celebrate International Cat Day with your furry loved ones this year by making sure they are up to date on annual exams and vaccines. A healthy kitty is a happy kitty!
