Heh 🐈 🐶 🍽:
New Zealand has the highest per capita rate of cat ownership of any country in the world, with 41% of households owning cats and 34% owning dogs.

Since 1990 our [cats] have [eaten] $1.5bn of food…
Jessica Smith Interesting, I had thought Russia had the highest rate of cat ownership by household! But it looks like they're only at 33% (except there was one anomalous year where it sprung up to 39% – that must've been the year I read about Russia having the highest rate 🤣). At any rate, it's good to hear NZ cats are eating well 😉
Miraz Jordan @jayeless I initially assumed it'd be an article about NZ cats eating native wildlife … I guess millions of dollars of imported food is the better option.
Jessica Smith Haha, that was my first thought as well. I'd thought it was a little strange they put a number on the financial value of native wildlife… definitely preferable that it was about cat food 😛
💬 John Philpin I wonder
how many cats that is
How many households are dogs and cats
How many billions of food people have eaten in NZ over that same period
???
💬 John Philpin couldn’t see that at top level and time to drill into the actual report I do not have
