Cats are fickle creatures, wanting snuggles and cuddles one moment and then biting at your hand the next. Despite their aloof attitudes, window staring, and demands for the “royal treatment,” they are a popular pet companion. According to the ASPCA, 35% of U.S. households own a cat, which equals approximately 85.8 million cats! The American Veterinary Medical Foundation did a study in 2012, finding that the average household owns 2 cats. While more households own dogs, cats exceed dogs in number per house.
