Cat Owners Find Philly a Purrfect Fit
City living is often suitable for feline friends, and Philadelphia is the sixth most popular U.S. city for cat owners, according to U.S. News.
The 2021 U.S. Census reported that approximately 63.8 million households (or 49.6%) were home to at least one pet, with dogs being the most common (49 million) and cats coming in second (28.2 million).
Cats are especially ideal for those looking for a furry friend but living in a smaller space, making them a perfect fit for many city livers. As more independent animals, they also require less caretaking than dogs, which can be helpful for those with busy lifestyles.
Additionally, for those living in cities where the cost of living is higher, cat ownership is typically less expensive than dog ownership. For example, cat insurance policies tend to cost less than dog insurance policies, and cats usually require fewer vet visits and vaccinations.
Overall, for many city dwellers, cats provide an equal balance of furry companionship and low maintenance. The most popular cities to have a cat are:
- Los Angeles
- New York
- Chicago
- Brooklyn
- Seattle
- Philadelphia
- San Diego
- San Francisco
- San Jose
- Portland
