Well we knew that the UK is a cat loving nation, but the most recent Cat Ownership survey from the Cats Protection certainly gives us a clear insight in to just how much we love them ๐Ÿฅฐ

Here are he highlights from the report, which is in its the 5th year of conducting the Cat Ownership Survey.

๐ŸฑThere are around 10.6 million owned cats in the UK, a slight fall from 11 million in 2023.

๐Ÿฑ One in four households (25%) own a cat, down from 26% in 2023.

๐Ÿฑ For the first time, more pedigree cats (45%) were acquired in the last 12 months than moggies (43%).

๐Ÿฑ The percentage of pedigree cats obtained has increased over time: 45% of cats obtained in the last 12 months were pedigree or purebred compared with 35% more than five years ago.

๐Ÿฑ The proportion of 18 to 34-year-old cat owners owning a pedigree cat has seen a significant increase this year, with 41% now sharing their home with one (35% in 2023).

๐Ÿฑ 67% of UK cat-owning households own one cat; 33% own two or more cats.

๐Ÿฑ A higher proportion of 25 to 34-year-olds own a cat (33%). Compared to this, only 12% of people over the age of 65 are likely to own a cat.

๐Ÿฑ For the first time, the proportion of males has matched the proportion of females owning a cat, both at 25%.

What do you think about these stats? Are you one of them?

โ„๏ธโ„๏ธWell its been a snowy day here today hasn't it! โ„๏ธโ„๏ธ

During this cold snap, keep these tips in mind to protect your pets ๐Ÿฅฐ

1) Wipe down their paws, legs, and tummy to remove any snow and dirt when they've finished their walk.

2) Avoid using antifreeze - its incredibly poisonous to cats and other wildlife. Also be cautious of salt and other chemicals used to melt snow and ice on roads and pavements.

3) Consider buying a coat or jumper for elderly or poorly dogs to keep them snuggly, and make sure they wear something that reflects in the dark for when you're out walking them.

4) Keep dogs away from iced-over ponds and lakes, and from all bodies of water including canals and rivers to be on the safe side. If they do get in any water, look out for signs of hypothermia such as: Shivering, lethargy, having cold ears and feet, decreased heart rate, increased urination and hair standing on end.

5) Provide a dry, draft-free enclosure for any outdoor pets, and also consider assisting wildlife in these cold periods too.

Luna had 2 severely cracked teeth which needed to be taken out, and whilst under anaesthetic she had a scale and polish.
