TOP 10 Countries With The Most Pet Cats in the World

10. Japan (7.25 million) Japanese people have a longstanding and loving relationship with cats. 9. Ukraine (7.5 million) has an extremely large cat population of about 7.5 million. 8. Germany (7.75 million) Germans love their cats. This is evidenced by the cat population figures from the country, estimated to be about 7.75 million-strong nationwide. 7. UK (7.75 million) The United Kingdom has a large percentage of its households owning a pet cat. The country also has some of the most well developed animal welfare laws in the world. 6. Italy (9.5 million) While pet cats in Italy enjoy a lot of privileges, stray cats are not far behind. 5. France (9.5 million) The French own cats for different reasons, with some doing so out of pure love for the furry creatures, while others are doing so for more practical purposes, like using the cats as a fashion symbol or for companionship. 4. Brazil (12.5 million) Though Brazil has a large (and still rising) domestic cat population, lack of recorded data makes it difficult to estimate the individual estimates for pet, stray, and feral cat populations in the country. The total cat population of Brazil is around 12.5 million. There was an estimated 37.6% rise in the cat population of this country 3. Russia (12.75 million) has a burgeoning cat population which today stands at an estimated 12.75 million. Russians, in general, bear a warm hearted and loving attitude towards their animals. 2. China (53 million) is home to around 53 million cats. China, having the third largest pet industry in the world, definitely has a substantial pet cat population. However, besides pet cats, the stray and feral cat population of the country is also skyrocketing, with Beijing alone having thousands of stray cats. This has created a huge issue in the country, as stray cats are often held responsible for pollution, disease transmission, and traffic accidents. Prior to the 2008 Olympics in China, a large number of stray cats were eliminated. Most of the stray cats were abandoned by their owners for various reasons, such as moving from one place to another and the fear of cat-borne illnesses such as SARS. Luckily for the cats, there are a large number of animal welfare organizations working in China. These are trying to protect the cats from painful deaths, and are encouraging the government to implement more humane measures in controlling the domestic stray cat population. 1. USA (76.5 million) Cats are one of the most favored pets of the USA's citizens. In the United States, one in three households own a pet cat, with an average of 2.2 cats per cat-owning household. However, pet cats are only a part of the total cat population in the country, which is estimated to be around 76.5 million. The Americans not only take care of their in-home pets, but also open their doors to the large numbers of stray and feral cats found there. A large number of households obtain their pets from family and friends, while stray and feral cats have been adopted by over 34% of American cat-owning households. Only 3% of cat-owners, meanwhile, obtain their pets from a breeder. 🔘 MAKE SURE TO LEAVE A LIKE & A COMMENT 🔴 SUBSCRIBE IF YOU ARE NEW AND TURN THE BELL ON "SOCIAL ===============================" 🐦 - FOLLOW ME ON TWITTER: https://twitter.com/estatisticas20 👥 - Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Estatisticas... 📸 - Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/estatistica...
