The Purrfect Upset How Cats
Became the Top Pet in America
And Why Dog Owners Should Feel
a Little SchadenfreudeIts
official cats are now the
number one pet in America
dethroning dogs as the top
furry friend in many American
homes According to statistics
from 1986 approximately 50
million cats resided in 24
million homes outpacing their
canine counterpartsFast
forward to today and it seems
that cats continue to reign
supreme A staggering 37 of
American homes now have at
least one cat making them the
clear winner in the pet
popularity contestSo why
should dog owners feel a
little schadenfreude thats
German for pleasure derived
from someone elses misfortune
Well lets face it cats are
notorious for their
independence and aloofness
They dont need constant
attention or affection like
dogs do making them the
perfect pet for busy
householdsAnd lets not forget
about the lowmaintenance
aspect of cat ownership No
more worrying about long walks
training sessions or messy
cleanups after a meal Cats are
happy to entertain themselves
or do absolutely nothing while
their owners are awayOf course
dog lovers may be thinking But
cats dont love me like dogs do
And youre right cats wont
lavish the same level of
affection and loyalty as dogs
do But lets not forget that
cats show love in their own
unique way through head butts
purrs and affectionate
kneadingSo dog owners take a
moment to revel in your feline
friends superiority just
kidding kind of After all
theres nothing wrong with
acknowledging the awesomeness
of our whiskered companions
And who knows you might just
find yourself appreciating the
subtle joys of cat ownership
like the satisfying crunch of
a fresh litter box or the
thrill of watching your cat
hunt that invisible laser
pointerThe Verdict Cats may
have taken over as the top pet
in America but dont worry dog
lovers theres still plenty of
love to go around
