According to Royal Canin's new survey, cats are being defined as "Quarantine Heroes" during these uncertain times.
Royal Canin, a global cat food company, asked 2,000 American cat owners, in a recent survey, about the relationships with their cats during these difficult past few months (quarantine and other subjects).
The survey shows that more than half (57%) of cat owners felt less alone during quarantine and 49% of cat owners stated their cats helped reduce their anxiety.
That's not all, the study revealed! 64% of cat owners shared that they got closer to their beloved feline during that time and discovered new places their cats like to explore/hang out. And within that same group, 54% found their cat's a new favorite food, and 34% came up with new games!
When spending so much time at home, a total of 76% of cat owners claimed to feel much closer to their pets now. And beautifully, 61% of the conducted survey actually went out to adopt or foster a pet during the quarantine. How wonderful is that? Remember, if you're thinking of getting a pet, please consider adopting and not shopping.
