There
are approximately 86.4 million pet cats in the United States, approximately
78.2 million pet dogs in the United States, and 5.3 million house rabbits. The
two most popular pets in most Western countries have been cats and dogs. In the
United States, a 2007–2008 survey showed that dog-owning households outnumbered
those owning cats, but that the total number of pet cats was higher than that
of dogs. The same was true for 2011. In 2013, pets outnumbered children four to
one in the United States.
