Feline Frenzy Why Cats Ruled
Supreme in 1987Its a
littleknown fact that
according to the American Pet
Products Association APPA cats
took the top spot as the most
popular pet in the United
States in 1987 Thats right
whiskers and wags gave way to
purrs and touslesAs I dug
through dusty archives and
consulted with fellow feline
fanatics one question kept
popping up what sparked this
sudden shift Was it a mass
cattitude adjustment or did
something more profound drive
the caninetofeline trendLets
start by exploring the eras
cultural landscape The 1980s
were a time of great change
and upheaval The Cold War was
thawing the economy was
booming and the music scene
was giving birth to new wave
and grunge Amidst this chaos
people sought comfort in the
quiet unassuming companionship
of catsTousling Tails Why Cats
Won Over HeartsOne reason cats
rose to prominence is their
lowmaintenance nature Unlike
dogs which require regular
exercise and training cats are
happy to lounge around all day
allowing their humans to focus
on other aspects of life This
laidback approach resonated
with busy professionals and
families seeking a stressfree
pet experienceAnother factor
contributing to the feline
surge was the rise of the cat
lady stereotype The 1980s saw
an increase in single women
entering the workforce and
cats became their trusted
confidants Who wouldnt want a
cuddly companion that
tolerates being tousled with a
few gentle strokesFuriendly

Enjoy the little things in life. For one day, you may look back and realize they were the big things. Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.
