But cat owner swere more likely to be female and living in smaller or single-person households.

The age of children in a family also appeared to make a difference, with catsbeing more common than dogs in homes with children under the age of 10.
此外，家庭中小孩的年龄也会影响宠物的选择。对于小孩还不满十岁的家庭来说，养猫比养狗更加普遍。

"We don't knowwhy there is this discrepancy. "
“我们尚不清楚为什么会存在这种差异。”

"Our best guess is that it's to do with working hours and perhaps commuting to work, meaning people have a less suitable lifestyle for a dog."
“我们只能猜测，花在工作上的时间太长意味着人们没有足够的时间去遛狗。”
