    Cats per capita would be a very different map in the east, like Greece and Turkey. They have a lot of street cats that are taken care of by the neighborhood.

      Yeah there’s no cats in Turkish households because they’re all chilling in the streets of Istanbul

        Yeah, Turkiye was def a surprise (bcs I don’t know anything besides two cities) - it also made me think that some people that have regularly or even regular cats in or around their house might not consider themselves as cat “owners” or owned by cats or a cat household. So that “free to leave” cats arent considered in this statistics.
