      They don’t need pets in Spain, they are already busy taking care of the emigrating British who all voted for Brexit.

      Anecdotal, but when I visited Madrid I saw more cats on the street than any other city I’ve visited. So maybe they get by with neighborhood cats?

      I mean we love cats too. There are many stray cats but usually someone takes care of them in an altruistic way. For instance every time (and I mean every single time) I walk to uni I see the same woman feeding the same cats in the same place. Or in my town depending on the street, if you watch carefully you can see food bowls and water for cats.

      Don’t know why ownership percentage is so low though. I’d say dogs are more popular, and birds probably for children.
