A new report argues that rising inflation and living costs are pushing more people to choose cats over dogs as pets. Cats are cheaper to feed and maintain than dogs, making them the more affordable companion during tough economic times, a trend some are calling the cat economy.
Why now: Pet owners are weighing the cost of pet ownership as inflation squeezes household budgets.
