Dogs vs Cats in Europe

Where are more cat owners than dog owners? Which is preferred in Hungary? One of the most divisive contraries is between cat owners and dog owners: some adore dogs, while others love cats. But how is it in terms of Europe?

According to szeretlekmagyarorszag.hu, the bloggers of Európa Pont has examined the numbers of dog and cat owners in some European countries. The data are from the most recent summaries of the European Pet Food Industry Federation. Where mainly cats are kept, there is a symbol of a cat; where there is a majority of dog owners, there is a dog symbol. To make it even easier, ”cat countries” are coloured in yellow, and ”dog countries” in blue.

As it can be seen, Hungary belongs to the cat lovers – however, the race is very close, because according to the data, 2.5 million cats and 2.1 million dogs are kept. The competition is also quite balanced at the level of the continent, as among the countries examined, 10 like dogs and 14 like cats.
