France tops cats per capita; French companies' 2021 revenue – PetfoodIndustry.com

France had the largest population of pet cats per capita in 2021. France was also home to the most reptile pets overall, according to the FEDIAF report “Facts & Figures 2021.” The rankings of pet populations in various European countries didn’t necessarily reflect the prevalence of pet ownership. More populous nations inherently tended to have more pets. However, ordering the top five cat populations in Europe by per capita pet ownership caused different patterns to emerge. Russia dropped from first to fifth in pet cat population, while France rose to the top. Considering the six nations with highest cat populations, I divided FEDIAF pet data by the human population in 2021, according to World Bank statistics using Eurostat data.
