Sorry Janice from accounts, the fact that you created a Facebook and Instagram account for your cat has finally come back to haunt you.

A company called VetPlus conducted a study and eish, it doesn’t look so good for all you cat owners out there.

The study focused on comparisons between cat and dog owners, with the findings showing that dog owners are happier, more sociable and earn bigger salaries than their feline-owning counterparts.

You want another kick in the guts? Feline owners are more likely to enjoy their own company, which sounds like a good thing until you consider that necessary to deal with their apparent lack of social skills.

The Telegraph can take it from here:

The study found the average cat owner takes home £24,000 a year, while the typical dog lover can expect to earn £27,000.

Measuring success at work also revealed dog owners are enjoying life slightly higher up the career ladder.

Eleven percent of dog owners claim to be “extremely successful”, compared to just eight percent of people who chose a cat for their pet.

It also emerged that more cat owners live with their parents than dog owners. And that coincides with the fact feline fans are less likely to be married – 55 percent compared to 60 percent.

Marked differences appeared in sociability too. Cat owners have an average of 50 online friends, while dog owners have 60.

When asked to reveal how many “best friends” they had, cat owners had an average of 12 – while canine lovers have 15 close friends.
