Are Dog Owners Really Happier Than Cat Owners?
Listen now
Description
Cupcake is an incredibly lucky cat. The Siamese survived being stuck inside a small cardboard box for eight days and 260 miles after her owner accidentally mailed her. The owner didn’t see Cupcake snoozing inside the package as she packed it with DVDs. Then she dropped the box in the mail. The package’s recipients were stunned to open the box and find the cute cat curled up alongside the movies they’d bought. Cupcake was reunited with her tearful owner (who felt horrible) over the weekend. She says, “I knew Cupcake was missing, but not for one second did I think she was in that box.” Also, the one downfall of cats and dogs is their short life span. This leaves us looking for unique ways to pay tribute to their life. We’ve found companies that will turn your pet into a diamond gem stone or shoot your pets remains into space. Now comes Pet Perennials, a wild-flower garden composed from your pet’s ashes. The startup’s founder Remy Bibaud explains. Also, the research is in from one “cloud” company that says we upload more pictures of our cats than dogs. What does this actually say about cat guardians? Do we take more cat pictures because we’re “cat crazy?” Jackie Stone from MiMedia has her reasons for the trend. And finally, dog owners are happier, more sociable, earn bigger salaries and have a bigger sexual appetite than cat owners, according to a new study. Animal Radio News Director Lori Brooks says data also suggests that dog owners are more likely to have paid off their mortgage and they will be inclined to describe their job as “stressful.” By contrast, cat owners are happier living alone and admit they relish a simpler pace of life. The study also found the average cat owner takes home $34,000 a year, while the typical dog lover can expect to earn $38,000.
