More cat owners ‘have degrees’ than dog-​​lovers

February 6, 2010
Posted by Jules Siegel

(BBC) Peo­ple who own a cat are more likely to have a uni­ver­sity degree than those with a pet dog, a study by Bris­tol Uni­ver­sity suggests.

A poll of 2,524 house­holds found that 47.2% of those with a cat had at least one per­son edu­cated to degree level, com­pared with 38.4% of homes with dogs.

The study said longer hours, pos­si­bly asso­ci­ated with bet­ter qual­i­fied jobs, may make own­ing a dog impractical.

via BBC News — More cat own­ers ‘have degrees’ than dog-​​lovers.
