Kinda interesting that Spain is surrounded by two countries with +30% cat ownership but themselves have 16%. Is there something about Spanish society that lowers cat ownership? I read a pet census (2017 tho) which seems to infer the percentage of cat lovers is even lower than this chart, with 8% of households (again 2017) having multiple cats per household creating an inflated 16% number. While Spaniards love dogs as much as anyone, interestingly birds are actually more popular than both cat or dog.

Man, anyone from Spain? I wanna hear the word on the street

They don't need pets in Spain, they are already busy taking care of the emigrating British who all voted for Brexit.

I'd love to see an emigrated Brexit refugee per household map of Europe.
